Vista - Can't use wmi through windows firewall ! - error 800A01CE

Hello,

I'm trying to run wmi script remotely. I'm using scriptomatic standard
script, anyway using hand written script gives exactly the same result.
source os: XP pro SP3, domain member
target os: XP pro SP3, domain member

If windows firewall is turned off on target computer everything works fine.
But if firewall is on I get the following:
Error: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable:
'getobject'
Code: 800A01CE
Source: Microsoft VBScript error

Only requirement I found to pass wmi through firewall is to enable "Remote
Administration" firewall option - so I enabled that on both standard and
domain firewall profiles:
netsh firewall>show service

Service configuration for Domain profile:
Mode Customized Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable No Remote Desktop
Enable No Remote Administration

Service configuration for Standard profile:
Mode Customized Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable No File and Printer Sharing
Enable No Remote Desktop
Enable No Remote Administration

So I get error above even "Remote Administration" is enabled.
Where is the problem ?

thanks
Vilius
