Hi,

This is a frequently asked question! The problem is that by connecting
to B you have "wasted" your first NTLM Authentication hop, and you can
only make one, so computer C will give "Access Denied".

You may be able to fix it with Kerberos delegation in Active Directory.

See my earlier post about "WMI and ASP" for the gory details.

Some vendors like Shavlik get round it by copying the files they need to
a temp folder on each remote box and then delete them at the end -
horrible...
