Hello, I've recently noticed I was having a lot of errors in the event viewer b/c of denied access for WMI. However, there were also some messages that stated that WMI was allowed access. I then discovered that WMI can be a way to access a computer remotely. I then discovered the following location: Computer Management\Services and App lications\WMI Control I right-clicked WMI Control and went to Properties\Security tab\root>RSOP>Security>Users. Under this I discovered ms_409 (which after some research determined was my computer with the icon of a globe). Under this there were three folders though with random letters and numbers for the names (and when I right-click the folder and click security the account is called "unknown account_random letters/#s"). My question: these three folders are they users on my computer or are they users remoting into my computer? The only activate account is mine and then there is the disable admin account that windows creates. The only thing I can think the third account would be would be the computer that i set up so that it was a part of my workgroup (it can only access shared folders and rarely does this). I've tried searching for this information but can't find a thing. Any help provide is greatly appreciated!

I'm retty sure you'd get a better answer is you asked the question in one of the "platform" forums. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
