VAMT 3.1: Unable to connect to the WMI service on the remote machine

Hi All,

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

Unable to connect to the WMI service on the remote machine

I've disabled the window 7 firewall and anti virus.  It can PING and RDP to the computers.

Any suggestions?


Many thanks

Sorry for the delay.  It turns out the built in Windows firewall is blocking the connection.

Any idea what rules I need to allow?
