Get-WmiObject : Could not get objects from namespace root\default. Access denied.

Got a new error today while running discovery which I couldn't find on the community or on wiki.

Get-WmiObject : Could not get objects from namespace root\default. Access deniedAt C:\Users\test\Downloads\mid.jakarta-05-03-2017__patch2-07-25-2017_08-11-2017_0919.windows.x86-64\agent\scripts\PowerShell\WMIFetch.psm1:363 char:24+                         $reg = gwmi <<<<   -list -computer $computer -credential $cred -namespace root\default | where-object {$_.Name -eq "StdRegProv"}+ CategoryInfo                   : ObjectNotFound: (:) [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : INVALID_NAMESPACE_IDENTIFIER,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommandYou cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

NOTE:

1. Instance version: jakarta-05-03-2017__patch2-07-25-2017_08-11-2017_0919

2. Powershell v2 is installed

3. Credentials used has local admin rights on the machine.

4. MID Server scripts/folder are not read-only.

5. This happens when I try to discover a remote machine, doesn't happen when I scan MID server itself.

Please advise?

Thanks!

Hi Iamer,

Try giving specific credentials on MID Server Service instead of Local Admin account.

Thanks,

Double check your credential.. reads as if you dont have all the permissions on those name spaces as expected

Hi Lamer,

Look at this Known Problem PRB752896. I may help.

Also If it is Jakarta Version Check whether all the requirements in this document are met.

MSSQL server discovery

Thanks,

Niranjan.

Have you been able to resolve this issue? I get the same error for one of the servers.
