Re: Group policy results wizard - Access denied

Well, all our servers work fine - it's just the WinXP workstations. Could
you give me a hint of what security policies I need to check and what they
would probably need to be??

There could be any number of things causing this. Is it happening on more
than one remote system? If so, have any security policies been changed
recently? Change in SMB signing level?

Well, even though I can remotely manage the boxes, when I try to connect
via the WMI Control snap-in, I get
wmi control failed to connect because win32:access denied

Again, I have searched this error until I am blue in the face with no
resolutions working.

While logged on as a domain admin, we are getting Access Denied when
trying to run the Group Policy Results Wizard on our WinXP SP2 systems.
I can remotely manage the systems, so I think WMI is working. Also,
firewalls are disabled.

Not sure when this stopped working, used to work fine. Could it be a
policy setting, such as Access this computer from the network or
Remotely accessible registry paths that are mucked up??


I have searched the Inet until I am blind, and no suggestion I have
found has been helpful.
