RE: Some 80041001 Generic Failure accessing remote WMI



We need to remember Windows Managment Instrumentation(WMI) is something
that is used to manage machines, and that is why a majority of these
classes require Administrative permissions on the remote machine to be able
to execute it remotely.

However, in some cases, you can reduce the security to these classes by
modifying DCOM settings and permission on the remote machine. While this
article does not directly pertain to Windows Server 2003, I would recommend
reviewing this article to see if you can get the DCOM permissions set to be
able to use a non-administrative user.
