WMI to remote machine

[Guest 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?

Re: WMI to remote machine

 

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.

Re: WMI to remote machine

 

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.
