Hi all We currently have WMI disabled on all our Windows Servers (2003 & 2008) and Desktops (XP) and we are now looking at enabling it. Being new to using WMI, does anyone know of any existing vulnerabilities with enabling the WMI service for Servers and desktops, and does it introduce any new security issues/concerns we should be aware of. Thanks in advance for any replies. ..Shane
