VBScript Error against Windows Server 2003 - 'GetObject'

[Guest Jason]

Hello,

I am trying to run a VBScript against a Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack

2 as a normal 'Domain User' and I get the following error:

 

The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable: 'GetObject'

 

The Script works against a Windows 2000 Server (SP4) fine, it just errors

out when I run it against a Windows 2003 server.

Some other info:

- The server is not offline

- Windows 2003 Server Firewall is DISABLED

- The Client OS I'm using to run the VBScript is Windows 2000 Professional

/w SP4 and WSH v5.6

- If I add the Authenticated Users group to the Local Administrators group

on the Windows 2003 Server then my VBScript will run against the server fine

 

Is is it a WMI/COM Security thing?

 

Thanks,
