Re: HOW TO Assign wmi rights to non-administrators!

The action should work locally as a regular user account.

If you are doing this on a remote computer, you need to:
1. Right click "My Computer"
2. Click "Manage"
3. expand "Services and Applications"
4. Right click "WMI Control"
5. Select "Properties" and assign user right "Enable Account" and "Remote
Enable" to the user account you wish.
