I know this has been posted hundreds of times but I can't find a solution to my problem.
I am trying to access Information like Disk space, Processes running etc from a remote server running Windows Server 2003
(sp1) from a Windows XP(sp2) client. I am getting a 'RPC Server unavailable. HRESULT: 0x800706BA' error.
This is my code:
ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
options.Username = "Username";
options.Password = "Password";
options.Authority = "ntdldomain: Domain";
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\serverIP\\root\\cimv2", options);
scope.Connect();
//Query system for Operating System information
//actions I Perform
Here is the exception details:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
Message="The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)"
Source="mscorlib"
ErrorCode=-2147023174

These are the actions I performed:
1. I am the administrator in my local machine. The account that I use to login has administrative previleges in the
target machine.
2. Firewall setting in the Target Server has been enabled to allow Remote Calls using netsh firewall set service
RemoteAdmin enable.
3.RPC services are running in the target machine.
a. Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
b. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
4. Set PagedPoolSize to 0 at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
5. I can ping the server from my local machine.
Can anybody provide more information about this error?
