If you are experiencing WMI connectivity issues accessing the SMS Provider and are seeing errors in the SmsAdminUi log file such as: Error(ConnectServer): Possible UI connection error you may have a misconfigured WMI rights. To check the WMI rights on the sever follow the steps here:
1. On the Site Server open the Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) Console (wmimgmt.msc).
2. Right mouse click on WMI Control (Local) and select “Properties” from the context menu.
3. Select the “Security” leaf and expand the “Root” leaf and then select “SMS”
4. Select the “Security” button on the bottom left hand side.
5. Select “SMS Admins” from the “Group or user names” box and ensure that the group has the following rights:
Enable Account
Enable Remote
Note: If the SMS Admins group or a SMS group that you have created for accessing the console is not shown you can add the group at this point but make sure that the Enable Remote is checked as the Enable Account is applied by default.
