Q7250015 - How to verify WMI access through DCOM?

To test whether you can connect to the remote computer using DCOM, run the following command in Powershell: 

New-CimSession -ComputerName REMOTEMACHINE -SessionOption (New-CimSessionOption -Protocol Dcom)

or (with alternate credentials): 

New-CimSession -ComputerName REMOTEMACHINE -SessionOption (New-CimSessionOption -Protocol Dcom) -Credential "DOMAIN\USER"

If you have access to the remote computer through DCOM, run the following Powershell command to verify access to WMI from DCOM: 

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName REMOTEMACHINE -Query "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem"

or (with alternate credentials): 

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName REMOTEMACHINE -Credential "DOMAIN\USER" -Query "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem"
