Special Configuration for WMI on Different Systems
On a Windows XP Pro computer, ensure that remote logons are not being coerced to the GUEST account (referred to as
"ForceGuest", which is enabled by default on computers that are not attached to a domain). Open the Local Security
Policy editor by clicking
Start
>
Run
and entering
secpol.msc
. Open the
Local Policies
node and select
Security
Options
. Then, scroll down to the setting titled
Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
.
If this is set to
Guest only
, change it to
Classic
and restart the computer.
In Windows Vista and Windows 7, in order to let all users in the administrator group connect using the WMI
namespace, the user might need to change the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy as needed.
