(Exception from What he means is that the RPC error could be caused by almost anything but it's a problem on the remote end, not a problem with your script. Go ahead and try to use other RPC-related tools, or one of the many WMI explorer tools or a vbscript, etc., they will probably all fail on this same computer. However, it might work on a different computer, or your local computer. If you want help with your powershell script code, I'd run it against your local computer and see how that goes. Otherwise I'd seek help in a more general Windows forum if you don't know how to troubleshoot the RPC errors.

Does it have a client side firewall? Vista blocks RPC by default, for example. Marco

RE: why my script not working ? forestial 13.07.2007 13:14:07 I have seen that error code when the value of the -computer parameter is incorrect (no computer with that name exists). Since you have the computer name in a variable $computer, try a simple ping $computer and see if the name is resolved, machine exists, is reachable etc. "IT Staff" wrote: [Quoted Text] > When i run my script in the cmd prompt, it gives the following error : > > Get-WmiObject : The RPC server is unavailable.

You did - but they don't help much. We'd need to know waht machine you are really looking at, and how it's setup. I'd refer to the three articles I noted to see if they help. I suspect the target system does not exist, the system has a firewall that blocks access to WMI, the WMI servicde is not running, or you have invalid credentials to that system.
