Can you remotely connect to the machine in question – using WBEMtest – and run that query?

Generally – if it is a rights issue – we will first throw:

The MOM Server failed to open service control manager on computer "servername.domain.com". Access is Denied
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DomainName\User Account
Error Code: 80070005
Error Description: Access is denied

It sounds like you are getting past SCM – and then having trouble with the WMI query.  I’d test outside of SCOM using a remote WBEMtest – and also try stopping Mcafee on a test box to see if that helps.

Question:  Whenever I try to push the OpsMgr SP1 agent to any system from within the Discovery Wizard, it always fails with access denied.

I’ve tried using the action account and mine which both have Domain admin rights. I  can connect to the computers with no problems(UNC/C$/Admin$/WMI/Registry). I leave the default for the service to run under local system. The results of the attempt that come up: “The Mom server could not execute WMI Query Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem on the <system>.” Error – Access is denied

There is no firewalls, does have MacAfee and can remotely install the SMS client which has lots of requirements itself.

Any ideas?
