I want to write a script using WMI queries to check the processes running on a remote system on the network. This requires me to have a domain user with administrative rights on the remote system. But what if the network I am on does not have a domain?

I have tried using the remote system's Administrator and other local (non-network) users. I always get an Access denied error. (I tested this with wmimgmt.msc).

Are there any patches that I have missed? Maybe a way around this domain business perhaps.

Thanks.
