I have a PC that won't install the SCCM client via Client Push. In the CCM.Log file on the site server, it connects to the IPC$ and admin$ shares using my client installation account, but then it comes back with this error:
---> Unable to get Win32_OperatingSystem object from WMI on remote machine "PCNAME", error = 0x80080005.
I know that error means that access was denied to WMI, and I verified that when I run wbemtest manually (using the same client installation account), I can connect to the root\cimv2 object on that PC but when I try to enumerate the instances of the Win32_OperatingSystem object, I get the same error.
I also tried using Computer Management applet (remotely - I have no local access to this PC) to look at the WMI Control properties. Again, I get the same access denied error so I can't check/change the security permissions that way.
I have verified that my client installation account is in the local Administrators group of the PC. I've already tried rebuilding the WMI repository - that worked but it didn't fix the access issue. I know I can install the client manually but I'm guessing I'd still have a problem with inventories, etc. that are dependent on access to that WMI object. Any suggestions about how to go about fixing the WMI access issue?
Thanks so much, --Jo
