just an update FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

i ran thru a vbscript and got the error as :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error: The remote server machine does not exist
or is unavailable: 'GetObject'

If i run via powershell RC2,

get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername 155.14.197.87 |
format-table -property username
error is :

Get-WmiObject : The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x800706BA)
At line:1 char:14
+ get-wmiobject <<<< Win32_ComputerSystem -computername 155.14.197.87 |
format-table -property username

And of course the error in event viewer in 155.14.197.87 is the dcom error
below.

How do i troubleshoot the dcom error in 155.14.197.87 such that it works
fine ?


For other machines, i ran both vbscript and ps script and it appears fine.
So i know it is not firewall issue, etc

Things to check include

Is the RPC endpoint mapper service running on that system(155.14.197.87)?
If you do a netstat -an is it listening on port 135?
Is the WinMgmts service ok on that machine? will the script run locally?

Can you telnet to that port from the machine you are sitting at?
