In brief, this indicates that WMI has not been installed on the remote machine.

For machines running Windows ME/2000/XP or later, this shouldn't be a problem, but for earlier operating systems you will have to install this operating system component before the machines can be managed remotely. For further information on how to install and configure WMI on the machines on your network so that you can audit these using ENT NetCenter, EntAudit or ENT Monitor, please refer to our knowledge base article: Preparing machines for auditing.
