    When I run a simple powershell command on a remote PC such as

    Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -computer Pc1

    Some Pcs reply "Access denied", while other reply fine, but I can't get the difference.

    Which rights are involved?

    I'd be very surprised if this was a firewall issue. The fact that some machines acquiesce, and others have the gaul to respond with a "Access denied" means the traffic is getting through to the target, and a response is getting back.

    Reason I mentioned it is that I once inherited a network where half the users had the firewall enabled, the other half didn't. I actually received access denied errors from the (WMI based) network monitoring software, which really wasn't what I expected, either.

    Fair comment, I guess it pays it expect the unexpected!

    It is interesting, but unfortunately does not solve the problem.
