Error 0x80041002

[artadmin]

I just installed Windows Script Host and am running some sample scripts. I keep getting the following Error:
Error 0x80041002
Code 80041002
Source: (null)

The error always occurs here:
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate, (Backup, Security)}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2&quot

Other scripts run fine, but it seems to fail whenever it tries to "impersonate". Could someone tell me if I haven't turned something on? I want to run this script on a local computer only. I eventually need to impersonate the administrator.

Thanks

This happens normally if strComputer variable is not defined prior to calling the CreateObject Function.
Try putting strComputer = "." for local box, or the address of the box you want to run the script on.

like I said, these scripts are pretty much straight off of Microsoft's website. I did check for the strComputer="." and it was present already. I tried setting "." to "ComputerName" and that doesn't work either.

Hello artadmin,

What do you try to do with ?
=impersonate, (Backup, Security)

Upon re-reading, you said you've installed scripting host, but, wmi requires a separate installation. I think you just don't have wmi properly installed yet?
