Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to do this please? We are trying to get access to WMI information on a Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 box. I have setup a domain user account and added this account to the security permissions for WMI. I have also added this account to the DCOM Security Settings for "Launch and Activation permissions" with full remote control on both. I am still receiving a error when I'm running a script to poll data. "80041003 - Access Denied" There is no problem with the script as I have successfully tested when the domain user is added to the local administrator group. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Chris
Hi, You'll have to be more clear about what you mean by "information". Some types of information are ONLY available to Administrators. I also seem to remember things that used to work as standard user on Win2k stopped working on Win2k3. First thing to do, is log the domain user directly into the Win2k3 box, and see if the WMI still says Access Denied. If it does, it's a WMI issue, if it doesn't it's a DCOM issue.
