Roger,

I found the issue, the Service account needed to added to the Default Domain
Controller policy for the User Right Assignment "Impersonate a client after
authenication". Once I did that and restart WMI, all is well.

Thanks for responding though.

Herman, Roger... How would the solution be implemented if the server in
question is NOT a domain controller?

I've been trying to run the Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices
Analyzer Tool remotely (as it suggests), but it always fails with a "WMI
cannot be accessed". None of the items listed in the associated help article
were problems. I followed another WMI related article and ran winMSD, but
that wouldn't connect to the remote computer either.

Trying to view the computer properties when I've used Computer Management to
remotely connect gives me a "Win32: Access is Denied" error, but I can't
find out who it's denying access to... Certainly not the user logged in to
the workstation as that is the Exchange Admin.

I've checked and double-checked the WMI control settings in Computer
Management and set verbose logging, but I don't find any mention of
Win32_ComputerSystem or Win32_Processor in either the framework or wbemcore
logs. I even went so far as to add the network service and exchange admin
user to the DCOM Users group.

Running the command "rundll32 wbemupgd, CheckWMISetup" doesn't even modifiy
the original setup.log file and I can't tell whether that means it ran
successfully or not at all.

I tried adding domain\machine to the "Impersonate a client after
authentication" in the Local Policy Settings of the exchange server but that
didn't help either.

At this point in time I've tried a dozen different tactics to get it to work
and none of them have been successful. I can't even get any of the logs to
tell me why access is denied to Win32 and WMI.

I'm at a loss as to what could be going wrong, and more importantly, how I
can fix it.
