We recently renamed one of our remote office pc's on a
windows 2000 domain(because the sysadmin was very
unimaginative and used our naming convention for the
routers and told us what we could do with ourselves if we
didn't change) and now I cannot use Cim studio, wbemtest
or a vbscript to access this pc via WMI for any sort of
system administration. I have admin rights and can do
sysadmin tasks manually or with a dedicated app but I
would rather script it as this pc is one of many. I
constantly get access denied when attempting to use wmi
remotely to this pc although I believe wbemtest seemed to
work OK when I pcanywhered into it. Technet and msdn
aren't very helpful here so Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
 
I figured it out. Renaming the computer had nothing to do
with this issue. Someone disabled disttributed com on
this pc (dcomcnfg)
