Why doesn't it let you?

Question

PowerShell

Good afternoon.
There are 2 computers in the local network. I want to display information about the OS using:
get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem -computername "compname".
In response, I hear:
get-wmiobject : Access denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Also used:
get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem -computername "compname" -Credential "username"
Response:
get-wmiobject : The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)
Any ideas, Google didn't help.

Answer 1

The root cause on a normally working computer without settings already made by crooked hands is a firewall, as azarij
already suggested. It didn’t help - go ahead:
1. the computer name is not allowed - try to enter in the format of an IP address or a fully qualified domain name like computername.domain.name instead of computername
2 The username does not match - try to enter it in the format remotecomputername\username
3. Remote access services to RPC are disabled - we solve this problem. (here is an article on which services to check https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/window...

Answer 2

disable the firewall on both machines.

Answer 3

Also, access denied is often due to remote UAC
You need to create a DWORD value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
