LanSweeper Advanced actions : Cannot connect to WMI service on PCXXX

[SimonHDV]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to figure out the following problem :

When I try to use the available advanced actions named "Uninstall software (P)", I receive an error : Cannot connect to WMI service on PCXXX

I checked different things :

- I'm domain administrator thus admin_local
- I downloaded the Lansweeper connection test and I have juste got back something like : "path not found ; executable not found" but I read on this forum that it's not worthwhile (I should just make the test from the Lansweeper server).
And concerning the WMI access, it displays OK.

- It works only with my own PC

Help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Simon

Unfortunately we no longer provide support for the uninstall action, as it has been replaced with the deployment module, which offers the same (and better) functionality. You can find articles concerning the deployment module here. At this time we don't even deliver the uninstall tool anymore with new Lansweeper installations.

If you do wish to continue using the uninstall tool, we recommend:

• Double-checking that you meet the requirements of the tool outlined here.
  
• Double-checking that the user clicking on the action has administrative privileges on the target machine, which is one of the requirements. Instructions for running asset actions as a different user can be found here.

If the issue persists, we unfortunately won't be able to troubleshoot further. We would recommend creating a deployment package instead to perform the uninstall.

Hello again,

The lansweeper administrators can't answer to this question ?

When I said "It works only on my PC" I wanted to mean that when I tapped the NETBIOS name of my PC in Lansweeper, the advanced action worked and only for my PC.

Thank you in advance,

Simon
