Hi
To familiarise myself with Map 8, I first tested it at home. I have 5 computers, 4 of which are running Windows 8 and 1 XP. They are all connected through a router. Network & Sharing is turned on and they can all talk to each other. They all show up
in the Network and Homegroup. I used my XPS laptop to host Map 8. I followed the demo exercise 1.3 to create an inventory by manually entering the computer name and credentials but the WMI error was Access Denied for all computers. I then concentrated on just
the one machine. I allowed WMI, Windows Remote Management, Windows Remote Management (Compatibility) through Windows Firewall by checking the appropriate boxes via control panel. I even turned off UAC in case that was an issue but no change. I opted to try
using Windows Networking Protocols and that did return a success but it was for the XPS Laptop hosting Map 8. (WbemTest also fails with the error Number: 0x80070005
Facility: Win32 Description: Access is denied) but I cannot imagine what else could be blocking things. Can you help me please.
Many Thanks Nigel
