VBScript to query WMI on remote machine

Zone: VB Script

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, XP, firewall ports open

I want to run WMI queries on remote machines via vbscript. I get this eror message:
Error: "The RPC server is unavailable."
Code: 800706BA
Source: SWbemLocator

I have tried adding this user to the cimv2 namespace in the WMI Control Properties found in computer management.

What do I need to setup on the client machine to be able to run WMI scripts via vbscript from another machine?

         
             strComputer = "192.168.100.202"
strUser = "Administrator"
strPassword = "**********"
strDomain = "**********" 
 
Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUser, strPassword, "MS_409", "ntlmdomain:" & strDomain)
Set colSwbemObjectSet = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("select * from CIM_LogicalDisk")
 
Outstr = ""
 
For Each objProcess in colSWbemObjectSet
	Outstr = Outstr & objProcess.Name &VbCrLf
 
Next
 
Wscript.Echo Outstr
