Distributed COM and Advanced Client interaction

Here is another tip to help troubleshoot advanced client issues. Run wbemtest and attempt to connect to the system that is behaving badly:

1. Launch wbemtest, and connect to \\yourbadsystem\root\cimv2 <file://\\yourbadsystem\root\cimv2>

2. If you receive error number 0x8007005, Facility:Win32, Description: Access is denied, connect to the remote system (RDP) and do the following:

Run dcomcfg | Component Services | Computers | Select My Computer | Action Properties | Default Properties

Ensure that "enable Distributed COM on this computer" is checked.
