I am unable to repro this problem. Can you detail which OS and Service Pack
you are remoting to and from? Also can we see what other code you are
running in your script? We might be able to tell more from that...

Hello I am having the same troubles. We have different (@ 5 - 6
)combinations of username/pwd for about 50 machines, updated every
week. So, I tried to read it from a file and loop through until I get
success. But if I use the correct credentials in first line, I get
through the rest of the code, otherwise I get access denied. I tried
Set objSWbemServices = Nothing or objSWbemServices = Nothing, but
nothing works.
Because I could not find any help, in desparation I have posted my
separate message.

I really need to resolve this, can someone help. Hey Richard, if you
find any solution, can you ple. let me know? I will do the same.

thanks a lot,
Snehal

Sure you are not hitting the intentional slow-down for repeated failed logon
attempts ?

I don't know if this was was answered or not. Anyway,

You can pick a free port, open it on firewall and use it as port range or
static port for
Winmgmt COM component (you need to use dcomcnfg.exe tool to do that).
DCOM client will use 135 to get the initial OXID for the IWbemServices
pointer
and the resolver will open your designed port on the first call into it.
