Sorry for the delay. &nbsp;It turns out the built in Windows firewall is blocking the connection.<br />
<br />
Any idea what rules I need to allow?

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I recently setup a VAMT / KMS server on our network using Windows Server 2012 R2. &nbsp;It can get the license status of the servers on the same subnet. &nbsp;But when it scans the laptop/desktop subnet it returns the following error.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
Unable to connect to the WMI service on the remote machine
</blockquote>
<br />
I've disabled the window 7 firewall and anti virus. &nbsp;It can PING and RDP to the computers.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
