WMI class behaves different remotely than locally

WMI class behaves different remotely than locally

Why does the query âselect * from win32_networkconnectionâ returns nothing on
remote queries while it works locally? On local test we logged the system
with the same user we tried the remote tests, and we had data only for the
local test. How can we get that data on a remote system?

Tango

Hi Tango,

Is it possible for you to provide a sample project with detailed steps to 
reproduce this problem? Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey,

I reproduced it with the use of wbemtest tool included in the Windows XP.

RE: WMI class behaves different remotely than locally

Hi Tango,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you tell me what OS you got this problem? Are these two machines in the 
same domain? 

I have performed some test regarding it:
1. My local machine is Vista SP1 while the remote machine is Win2003 SP2. 
2. Both machines are in the same domain and my domain account is in 
Administrators of these two machines. 
3. I connect the remote machine by using "\\[Win2003 machine 
name]\root\cimv2", then I can query the "select * from 
Win32_NetworkConnection" and get the result. 

Thanks.

Best regards,

RE: WMI class behaves different remotely than locally

Hi Jeffrey,

   It was a user logging problem, we were trying a domain account with 
administrators rights in the remote machine, but it was not logged in the 
remote machine, so no network connections were created.

Thanks for your help,
Tango

RE: WMI class behaves different remotely than locally

Hi Tango,

Thank you for the confirmation.

Based on my experience, if the remote user logging fails, the wbemtest will 
pop up an error dialog, which should be a hint to us. 

Anyway, if you need further help, please feel free to post, thanks.
