Within the WMI there is, by default it is
locked down with only local user access, you have to turn on several sections
and then allow access by NT account to sections of WMI. This can be at
the \root of WMI but has to be specifically done.

Subject: [ActiveDir] WMI Security
on Windows 9x
I know this is
unrelated to Active Directory but was hoping that someone has run against this
while scripting with the WMI service;
We are trying to get the WMI service on all of our
Windows 9x systems and allow a specific account to remotely access all the
systems to recover information about the systems.
We have been able to successfully deploy it but we
are having difficulty adjusting the ACL via script for remote access to the WMI
service.
We have been able to build a script that will return
what is currently loaded in the system for rights but we are having difficulty
building a script that will push onto the system the new rights we want on all
the systems.
We hope to be able to
run it
from the local system and maybe even from our logon script and adjust this
security setting.
