Can't connect to remote computer.

I have a script which executed through SMS that gets all workstations
connected to the server. I then need to connect to the server and pull log
files from the previous day. The following code is used to remotely connect
to the workstations. However, I get access denied because the account I need
to connect to is the local workstation administrator account and not in the
domain. (the domain accounts get locked out over time if any errors occur)
The problem I have is I can not find out how to tell the script to log into
the workstation account because the ConnectServer method requires a domain.
Is there a way to get a remote connection using the workstation credentials
instead of the domain credentials?


Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, _
"root\cimv2", _
strUser, _
strPassword, _
"MS_409", _
"NTLMDomain:" & strDomain) ' Specify workstation instead of domain?
