My Windows Computer is not beeing inventoried. How can I check whether WMI is successful or not?

Each Microsoft Windows operating system comes with a built in tool called “wbemtest.exe”. Start the tool on the discovery computer by opening a command line first and then start the product “wbemtest.exe” from the command line. That’ll bring up the following Window:

Click the Connect button in order to establish a WMI connection. This opens a new Window where you can enter the connection details such as IP address, user name, and password.

Always use the form domainusername for domains or computernameusername for local computer accounts.

When the connection fails, then you’ll receive an error message. On a successful connection, the buttons within the tool’s main area will be enabled.
