Connecting to WMI on a Remote Computer
WMI can be used to manage and access WMI data on remote computers. Remote connections in WMI are affected by the Windows Firewall and DCOM settings. In Windows Vista and later operating systems, User Account Control (UAC) may also require changes to some settings. For more information, see Connecting to WMI Remotely Starting with Vista.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
