    Markus,

    Thank you for your kind advice – in fact, I also reached the same conclusion.
    By looking at the log, I found that the following actions are necessary in target PC.

    (1) enable firewall to allow WMI communication.
    (2) enable DCOM for the remote access (by using wbemtest.exe, I got an error code 0x80070005 DCOM ACCESS_DENIED)

    However, this still did not help. I again looked at web for more info and found the following URL.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa826699%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

    This URL tells me that UAC must be disabled for WMI to work from the remote!
    But this is a risky work around because of security reason – If this is a required configuration, I will suggest my client not to use it.

    By the way, I am wondering whether your monitored system is WindowsServer2012R2 (which I assume that all WMI configuration are enabled by default?).

    Can I just confirm your environment – using WindowsServer2012R2, ActiveDirectory for target system?

    Best Regards
