WMI to remote machine

[AndyS]

Hi,

I have 2 2003 servers, one local and is a member of a domain, the other is
remote (in another country) and is only on a workgroup. I have some
monitoring software which can use WMI to retrieve the windows log events. I
can't get this to work so I have been trying to diagnose the problem. I have
disabled firewalls at both ends, both machines have a public static ip
address. I can run wbemtest on the remote machine ok and wmidiag, but when I
run wbemtest on the loacl machine and try to connect to the remote machine it
says "0x800706b9 Not enough resources are available to complete this
operation" Strange when the resources are vast on both machines. I know it is
sucessfully authenticating because if I put the wrong password in it gives
the error "Access Denied" and I can also see success logon audits in the
event viewer. There do not seem to be any other error messages and verbose
WMI logging doesn't seem to show anything other than
"CForwardFactory::CreateInstance" although "GetUserDefaultLCID failed,
restorting to system verion" is showing in wbemcore.log regularly.

Please can anyone help?

Thanks for the links. I can't find this sort of error message anywhere
"0x800706b9 Not enough resources are available to complete this
operation"

Because WBEMTEST works when I run it locally on the remote machine I can
only conclude that it must be something to do with connecting remotely, but
the logs / errors mean nothing to me.

Thanks

Andy.

the most common reason (i see) for a error message like that is when page
pool is out. open task manager and on the performance tab, in the kernel
memory section there is a value for Paged. if this is anywhere near 300MB
then thats probably your problem.

im not sure thats the case since you said both are pretty bare, but take a
look.
