Non-Admin access to Win32_DiskDrive, Win32_PNPEntity

Sorry for the repost, Now using my Managed NewsGroup nospam subscription
email for better response.

Hi

Is it possible to get a non-admin account to access the Win32_DiskDrive,
Win32_PNPEntity
class in WMI.
It seems like you need to have Admin level access for Hardware related
classes.

We are experiencing the problem remotely to all Win2003 Servers. We CAN
access the Win32_DiskDrive class when the User is part of the Administrators
Group, but we would prefer a non-admin level account.

I have seen a few postings about this issue, but they always never seem to
get to the answer.
Other postings such as "microsoft.public.windowsxp.wmi , User Rights for WMI
Access.".

After months of research I believe the resolution is in being able to change
the Security Descriptor for the Win32_DiskDrive Object or somewhere in the
COM Interfaces security settings.
But I cannot find out anywhere how to do this.

Does anyone know how to fix this or is it possible.

Regards
Shayne Smyth
