To check this, run the following command from the command prompt on the MIS Server host.Execute for runner_type=WMI:

wmic /node:"<target>" /user:"<user>" /password:"<password>" path win32_operatingsystem

From within a Powershell console on the mid server host, execute for runner_type=Powershell:

gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computer <ip> -credential '<username>'

On running the command getting error "Access is denied".

I tried to use the username and password of the Mid Server in the first and second both command.
