Group Policy to allow WMI access on domain

thorbarry

Hey Guys,

I am running windows server 2008, there are about 100 computers on the domain all using windows 7. Looking at most of the users laptops WMI is set to not allowed.

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall\Allowed Programs

I can manually go in to each one and allow it, but obviously this would be time consuming.

Does anyone know a way for me to set all computers on the domain to allow WMI.

I was looking at the Group Policy management console, but i don't have a lot of experience to be messing with this. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks

When adding group policy objects, you are better off creating a new object then editing the default as this will make it easier to change later
