Get-WmiObject returns with Access Denied error
0
I am trying to edit a registry value on a remote VM running Windows 7.
I am using the following code to edit it:
$password = "<password>" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$username = "<username>"
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
$hklm = 2147483650
$path = "SOFTWAREcratler"
$key = "HostAddress"
$wmi = Get-WmiObject -List "StdRegProv" -Namespace rootdefault -ComputerName <IPAddress> -Credential $credential
if($wmi)
{
$value = ($wmi.GetStringValue($hklm,$path,$key)).svalue
Write-Host "Registry Value: $value"
}
else
{
Write-Host "Failed to get registry value"
}
The registry key path and credential are all correct but still I am getting the following error message:
Get-WmiObject : Could not get objects from namespace rootdefault. Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

The error is pretty straight forward. Why do you think you have access? Can you open other RPC connections to the remote computer?

@vrdse I am pretty new to powershell. Can you provide a reference as to how to check my accessibility to the remote machine(which you said by using other RPC) ?

@Monku - tryTest-Connectionfor simple connectivity. then useTest-WSManto test for using windows remote management. those are the usual culprits. [grin]

@Lee_Dailey Get-WmiObject does not use WSMAN but RPC.
