How to make a remote WMI calls to a machine with ISA Server 2006 running?

Whenever I try to make WMI queries from a remote machine I get an exception

"The RPC Server is unavailable".

I did make a firewall policy rule in ISA Server to allow the protocal named "RPC Server (all interfaces)", From and To are "Computer Sets/Anywhere" and it's still blocked. I unchecked "Enforce Strict RPC" and still nothing.

The RPC service is running. I manually started the RPC Locator server too, to no avail.

The complete exception message is:

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Try disabling the RPC Filter on your ISA Server:

  • Run ISA Server Management.
  • In the left pane, select "Firewall Policy".
  • In the right pane, go to the "Toolbox" tab, then select "Protocols".
  • Expand "All Protocols", then double-click "RPC (all interfaces)".
  • Go to the "Parameters" tab.
  • In the "Application Filters" list, uncheck "RPC Filter", then click OK.
  • At the top of the screen, click "Apply".

You can also try the hotfix from MS KB 887222, but I haven't tested that.
