Trying to acquire disk information for a collection of 'supposedly' identical servers. &nbsp;These were all built the same - all W2k8R2.<br />
The wmi query works using my admin ID, however I'm trying to get it setup with a service account.<br />
So, the same exact script executes fine with this service account ONLY against 3 of the 10 servers.<br />
I've verified wmi/gpo/dcom permissions - they seem identical (though I can recheck any if requested).<br />
What else could be preventing the connection to these servers?<br />

I even attempted, as a test, to provide the -credential parameter and supply my credentials - that also failed.
