Its because the Windows firewall is blocking the remote connection. I've done a bunch of search and made sure my group policy was set to allow remote administration and file and print sharing in the firewall, but it still doesn't work. I think it has something to do the DCOM using dynamic port mappings, but it just doesn't seem to work with WinXP clients. It works fine with Vista. Any tips would be appreciated.

However, I wonder why you did not just use the __server for getting the computer name. It is in every WMI object I have seen thus far and makes it really easy to code in. Guess it does not make a real difference either way. yeah this is a pretty good way of going about it. However, I wonder why you did not just use the __server for getting the computer name.

But...how do I compile a list of computers? We have 700 computers on 6 different subnets with several being managed by 3rd party companies - who knows what machine names they build and tear down on a weekly basis. Is there a way the script can do a ping "if statement" on an entire IP range then query for information that responds with a successfull ping? Or..any other ideas to build a computer name txt file are more than welcome. Thanks, Dave I agree with Daniel – ditto. But…how do I compile a list of computers?
