Accessing Remote Computer using WMI in Vbscript?

[wickedweapon]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a remote computer and view its running processes thorugh WMI by using a script on my system but i keep getting "RPC server unavailable" error.I have changed the COM settings(as mentioned in msdn library articles) many times but it still gives the same error. The account that I have used to log on to my computer is an administrator on the remote computer also.I'm providing the domain name,remote computer name,userID and password using the

SwbemLocator.ConnectServer()

I'm getting "DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <Computer_Name> using any of the configured protocols." Error in the Dcomcnfg.exe System EventViewer(local)

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Did you check to make sure RPC is allowed on the remote machine?

How can I check that?

In the windows firewall settings or other firewall software that the remote machine is running. RPC has been patched up for security in 2003 after the Warm Blaster attack.
