Re: WMI call across domain fails.


You should Remote enable the trusted user used to connect to WMI
root/cimv2 namespace.
How to remote enable an user is documented in MSDN.

Hi all,
I have a following situation. WMI call [coded in C++] fails saying
access denied when trying to connect/query.

[Domain A] <------------ Two way Trust ------------> [Domain B]
MacA
MacB

[ XP MacC on Domain B.]

Mac* are all windows machines.

Facts:
1) Two way trusts are validated and working fine. [Domain controllers
are Win2003 Std srvr]
2) AdminA is a domain admin on Domain A
3) DomainA\AdminA is added to DomainB's administrators group.
4) Now, when I tried to make WMI call from my cpp app from MacA to MacB
using credentials of DomainA\AdminA and IT WORKS.
5) But when i try it from MacA to MacC using DomainA\AdminA it says
access denied.
6) I enabled all failure audits, no failures occurs.
7) but when i use a wrong pwd to test, i see the failure in event log,
security audit.
8) And from MacA to any other machine on DomainA, the WMI call works
[obvious]
9) Important: from MacA, if i execute \\MacC\c$, it says access denied.
[it succeeds with \\MacB\c$]
10) Apart from adding DomainA\AdminA on DomainB Administrators group, I
didn't do any other setting.

Can any body help me in telling what else is needed to make the (5) and
(9) work?

Thanks
Sathish
