Making Connection To Server using WMI

[JohnBoy2005]

I'm trying to connect to my webserver using an asp\vbscript script

strComputer = "webserver"
Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer _
(strComputer, "root\cimv2", "test", "test")
objSWbemServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3

The following error is returned

"SWbemLocator error '80041064'

User credentials cannot be used for local connections"

The server doesnt have active directory installed, I'm trying to use WMI to create a new user.

Any ideas

John

Are you executing the script on the server or remotely?

I hope that helps.

An hta works fine on a windows server.

I hope that helps.

Can u point me in the right direction for some examples.

Cheers

I would recommend you download HTAOmatic from Microsoft.com.

I hope that helps.
