Event viewer works and WMI not   

Hello,
I have two computers (C1 is local, C2 is another in the network).

I open "Event Viewer" --> "Connect to another computer" --> input "C2"
to "Another computer", press OK and I get event log of computer C2.

However when I try to connect to C2 by using WMI i get error The RPC
server is unavailable. error code:0x800706ba .
To connect to C2 I use 'winmgmts://C2/root/cimv2:Win32_NTLogEvent' .

What is wrong, what I could do to connect to C2 with WMI ?

Please help

Thank you!

Hi,

There can be mulitple issues, firewall port is nt opened for WMI, remote 
machine is in a workgroup, or other network issues.

From a WMI point of view here are some links that can help you solve this.

Connecting to WMI on a remote computer:
