WMI: What permission(s) am I missing?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have tried the example from this link:

http://groups.msn.com/windowsscript/wmi.msnw?action=view_list&row=11&viewtype=2

I receive a 'returnValue' of 3 (Insufficient privilege). I can remove the
username and password parameters and run the script under either a domain
account that is a member of the local administrators group or the local
computer administrator account and the results are the same. If I run the
script under the SYSTEM account, I get a 'returnValue' of 0 and the process
successfully launches.

I am running the script on Windows XP Pro SP1. What permission(s) is the
Administrators group missing and where can I change it?
