(Apologies in advance - couldnt find a specific WMI newsgroup...)

Am running scriptomatic on my Win 2003 DC, running TS server. Tried
running one of the builtin scripts to query W32_ComputerSystem. Get
Windows Script Host error:

Error: Class doesn't support Automation
Code: 800A01AE
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

(This is when run from an Administrator account.)


What could be causing this?


Am thinking that this might be an access rights issues as:

1] Also get errors 1065 in Event Viewer "Windows cannot perform filter
check for Group Policy Object" for group policy objects that have an
attached WMI Filter. When users are given administrator access then
this problem goes away.

2] Also get error 1097 "Windows cannot find the machine account, the
Local Security Authority cannot be contacted" at server startup.


Thanks
PL

Thanks. I posted to that group.

I also solved my original problem... Access rights on the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive had been corrupted. I set Everyone group to
have Full Control, and it all started working again!
