Troubleshooting 47
– Create an account on the client system with the same user name and
password as an administrator account on the system running your
WMI management application.
– If you are using IT Assistant, run the IT Assistant ConfigServices
utility (
configservices.exe
found in the
/bin
directory under the IT
Assistant installation directory). Configure IT Assistant to run under a
local administrator account, which is also now an administrator on the
remote client. Also, verify that DCOM and CIM are enabled. See the
IT Assistant User’s Guide
for information.
– If you are using IT Assistant, use the administrator account to
configure subnet discovery for the client system. Enter the user name
as
<client machine name>\<account name>. If the system
has already been discovered, remove the system from the list of
discovered systems, configure subnet discovery for it, and then
rediscover it. See the
ITAssistant User’s Guide
for information.
