When connecting to a remote computer, you need to supply credentials.
Something like:

ConnectionOptions connection = new ConnectionOptions();
connection.Username = userNameBox.Text;
connection.Password = passwordBox.Text;
connection.Authority = "ntlmdomain:mydomain";
 
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(
                    "\\\\servername\\root\\MicrosoftExchangeV2", connection);
scope.Connect();

Hi there Plater....
Thanks for that.....

I did include a username and password after i posted after doing some research....

I added the co.Authority = "ntlmdomain:mydomain"; and searcher.Scope.Connect(); lines of code.....

ConnectionOptions co = new ConnectionOptions();
co.Username = "mtcexchdev";
co.Password = "monte@qaz";
co.Authority = "ntlmdomain:mydomain"; //change added




System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher();
searcher.Scope = new System.Management.ManagementScope("\\\\MTCEXCH01.g aming.tsogosun.com\\root\\MicrosoftExchangeV2",co) ; //change added
searcher.Scope.Connect(); //change added
searcher.Query = new System.Management.ObjectQuery("Select * From Exchange_Mailbox");
System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection results = searcher.Get();



I however getting the following Error Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

I have turned off the firewall on my side, and linked the server in SQL 2005, and provided the correct username and password....and enabled RPC = True...

IMPORTANT: what needs to be filled in here :
connection.Authority = "ntlmdomain:mydomain";

Do you think that it could be a problem on the mailbox server side??

I am currently working at head office where the server is based at the client which is in the next building....i just cannot figure out what else could be causing this problem??

And once again...thank you for assisting me, if theres anybody that can help me its you...you knowledge is quite out there!!! :-)

well "mydomain" needs to be replaced with whatever your actual domain is.
