Hi, 
I am having the same issue but I cannot locate the registry key you are referring to, please can you explain in more detail.

3.WMI remote permissions error

If I run this:

gwmi win32_process -computer "COMPUTER" -credential "DOMAIN\USER"

And provide the proper password then I get a permission denied error. 
However if I do essentially the exact same thing in VBScript:

On Error Resume Next
Dim strComputer
Dim objWMIService
Dim propValue
Dim objItem
Dim SWBemlocator
Dim UserName
Dim Password
Dim colItems

strComputer = "COMPUTER"
UserName = "DOMAIN\USER"
Password = "PASSWORD"
Set SWBemlocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objWMIService = 
SWBemlocator.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\CIMV2",UserName,Password)
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
	WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objItem.Caption

	WScript.Echo "ReadOperationCount: " & objItem.ReadOperationCount
	WScript.Echo "ReadTransferCount: " & objItem.ReadTransferCount
	WScript.Echo "SessionId: " & objItem.SessionId
	WScript.Echo "Status: " & objItem.Status
	WScript.Echo "TerminationDate: " & objItem.TerminationDate

Then it works just fine. Is this a known issue with powershell? Is there 
some Powershell setting that is preventing this?

4.Permission Denied when trying to access remote computer with V

5.Permission Denied when trying to access remote computer with VBScr

hello,

i'm writing a script that access WMI on a remote computer to perform certain 
actions. i've tried using the GetObject as follows:


	Set objWMIService = GetObject _
	    ("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\" & _
	        strComputerName & "\root\cimv2")

and i've also tried using whe sWbemLocator ConnectServer method as follows:

Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.sWbemLocator") 
Set objWMIService = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputerName, _ 
    "\root\CIMV2", _ 
    strUser, _ 
    strPassword,  _ 
    "MS_409", _ 
    "NTLMDomain:" + strComputerName) 

when i use the first method, i get 
error code: 800A0046
Error: Permission denied: 'GetObject'
System: the remote server has been paused or is in the process of being 
started.

when i use the second method, i get:
error Code: 80070005
Error: Access is denied
Source: SWbemLocator
System: Access is denied

the remote computer is a Windows XP sp2, i'm running a network with a 
windows 2003 domain controler. i'm running the script as a domain 
administrator.
i have searched all around on a way to fix this. i have followed all 
instructions in how to set securiy and impersonation level, and access level, 
and still my scripts error out.
i suspect that some recent windows update is blocking access to local wmi 
from the network.
all the variables are declared explicitly and are assigned values before 
reaching this part of the code.
i have disabled the firewall on the local machines using a gpo, so it's not 
a firewall issue.
if i'm locally on the machine, all the scripts run without a problem. it's 
only remotely that i have a problem.

thanks and regards,
