I'm learning about WMI under .NET (C#) by trying to retrieve information on the disk drives of
computers that are part of my domain (behind the same firewall).

The following code fails for every computer on my LAN that I run it against...except for the domain
controller itself, where it works just fine:

ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
options.Username = "DomainName\\Administrator";
options.Password = "SecureAdminPassword";

ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\RemoteComputerName\\root\\cimv2", options);
scope.Connect();

What am I doing wrong?
