WMI connection Problem on Windows10

Question

Hello,

In a VMware environment, I installed Windows Server 2016 as the Domain Controller. Additionally, I set up another Windows Server where I configured WMI permissions, granting WMI namespace access to a domain user.

Afterward, I applied a GPO with the following parameters enabled:

DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions in Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL)

DCOM: Machine Launch Restrictions in Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL)

These settings were configured for the same domain user who was granted WMI namespace access.

So far, everything works as expected. I was able to query the non-DC Windows Server using WMI commands. However, I applied the same configuration to a Windows 10 machine and encountered an error with code 0x80070005, even when using a domain administrator account.

I believe this issue might be related to an additional configuration specific to Windows 10, as the same permissions work fine with a Windows Server 2016 machine.

I hope you can assist me in resolving this issue.

Best regards,
