Experts,
I am trying to validate credentials on Windows 10 Laptop from a MID server [Windows 2016]. Both are on same network. But I am still unable to validate credentials. I am on Tokyo version .
1) Firewall is disabled on target host
2) Ping from MID server OK
3) Telnet from MID to target host OK
4) From MID server Power shell command ==> gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computer 192.168.1.212 -credential 'svcacct_discovery' FAILS
Not sure what is the reason?
Any other point I should be checking?
Please advise.
Thanks.

I assume your Mid Server and HOST IP on which you are testing the CREDS are two different machines.

Also - Enable debug mode in MID server by setting MID server properties "mid.log.level" to debug. Following message logged in MID server log

I remembered!!
Please check the WMI service status of the target windows machine!
In my case , it was not started by default!

Hello @newhand
I checked the WMI service, it is on. Any other tip ?
I also followed below document which is typically for Windows 10/11 system, and followed all these steps, still no luck.

Run the gwmi command from mid-server directly may get more information about the Fail..
The information can help to relove your problem more quickly....
