Jim,

I looked at this quite a bit today - with no luck. You know, the issues surrounding this whole remote process thingy reminds me of the same issues we get when running a batch file under the AT scheduler, you know - no user context. Having said that (and don't laugh) I tried chnaging the Windows Management Instrumentation service to have it run under a Domain User Account, but it wouldn't stick - something about dependencies with other WMI services. I know this sounds drastic, but was just trying to perform a test, have you tried giving the WMI service itself some credentials ?
