WMI Access Issues

[Bobby]

Hi,

I'm currently experiencing a problem with WMI. On part our network, we
have 4 machines, which are as follows:

A = Windows XP SP2
B = Windows XP SP2
C = Windows 2003 x64 R2
D = Windows 2003 x64 R2

Via WBemTest, I get the following results
A -> B = Ok
A -> C = Ok
A -> D = Ok
B -> A = Ok
B -> C = Ok
B -> D = Ok
C -> A = Hangs, never quits
C -> B = Ok
C -> D = Ok
D -> A = Hangs, never quits
D -> B = Ok
D -> C = Ok

As you can see, I only ever get a problem from the W2K3 machines
accessing 1 of the XP Machines. There are other machines I haven't
mentioned, but they're all ok. I've also confirmed the following:

- settings via dcomcnfg are the same on both XP machines.
- Firewall on "A" is turned off.
- User account in all scenarios is the same.
- All machines are on the same domain.
- WMIdiag on "A" reports "Default Trustee" issues, but not sure why
this would affect things if B -> A works

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Bobby

Hi Bobby,

I would like to know the role of the Windows 2003 servers?
What is the error messge you se in the WMIDIAG? Does it point you to
specific class ?
Wat if we take a simultaneous netMon trace when we are running wbemtest on
win2k3 x64 ?
