Access Denied Querying with WMI

Hi Experts out there!!
I am trying to access the network adapters using WMI. I am trying with the code below. I get access denied on the "scope.connect"-line. Any ideas? I am creating a Windows application

Dim mgmtOptions As New ConnectionOptions
        mgmtOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate
        mgmtOptions.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Connect
 
        Dim scope = New ManagementScope("\\" + RemotePC + "\root\cimV2", mgmtOptions)
        scope.connect()
 
        Dim QueryNIC As ObjectQuery
        QueryNIC = New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter")
 
        Dim NICSearcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, QueryNIC)
        Dim Queried As ManagementObject
        For Each Queried In NICSearcher.Get()
            Debug.Print(Queried!ProductName)
            Debug.Print(Queried!Name)
            Debug.Print(Queried!Index)
            Debug.Print(Queried!NetConnectionID)
        Next

However I got another problem. I the error:"The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread." on this line: For Each Queried In NICSearcher.Get()
