get-wmiobject - access denied

[Frank]

Hi,

When doing a:

gwmi -namespace root\mscluster -computer servername -class
mscluster_resource|%{$_.type}|sort

I get: Get-WmiObject : Access denied

The event log has:

Access to the root\mscluster namespace was denied. The namespace is marked
with RequiresEncryption but the client connection was attempted with an
authentication level below Pkt_Privacy. Re try the connection using
Pkt_Privacy authentication level.

Does anyone know how to get around this w/o modifying the servers config?

Thanks in advance,

[Jon]

Thanks in advance,

Version 2 CTP has a -Authentication parameter, so you could potentially use
....

gwmi ..... -Authentication PacketPrivacy ......

I'm assuming you need to do this remotely? I believe there's also a COM
interface to mscluster.

I don't know how easy it might be (if possible) to use DCOM to connect
to a remote system. It might also have encryption issues.

Hi Frank,

Can you try this?



$server="server"
$wmi = [WmiSearcher] "Select * From IIsApplicationPool"
$wmi.scope.path = "\\$server\root\mscluster"
$wmi.scope.options.authentication = [System.Management.AuthenticationLevel]::PacketPrivacy
$wmi.scope.options.enableprivileges=$true;

# specify alternate credentials
#$wmi.scope.options.username="domain\user"
#$wmi.scope.options.password="yourPassword"

$resource = $wmi.Get()
$resource | foreach { $_.type}

Sorry, this line:
$wmi = [WmiSearcher] "Select * From IIsApplicationPool"

Should be:
$wmi = [WmiSearcher] "Select * From mscluster_resource"
