Hi, May be firewall is blocking the access. Try enabling firewall for WMI.

In some cases the client has a wrong IP address. This could be the case if the DNS record for the client isn't updated. Try pinging the client by hostname. Then run ipconfig on the client. Check if ip addresses are the same. Andy
