Unable to connect to WMI on remote machine..error = 0x800706ba

Sometimes you may find below error message in CCM.log file (in SCCM server side) during client

push process initiated from server(automatic or manually done by admin):
Error:Unable to connect to WMI on remote machine "MachineName", error = 0x800706ba



Reason:Lets decipher the meaning behind this error. If I convert the error code  0x800706ba to decimal, I get 1722. If I go dipper by checking  " net helpmsg 1722 " , I get the following respons: "THE RPC SERVER IS UNAVAILABLE".

Solution(s):

1. Try to access the ADMIN$ share of the target system using the same account that is used for client push activity from server side. If its through, then you need to go to next step else check whether client push account has local admin access in target system or not.

2. Check DNS name resolution. First ping the target computer. If you get reply with IP address then type "Ping -a <IP Address of target computer>". If it resolves the same name as you expected, then you move to next step else check DNS access.

3. Now check the Windows OS firewall settings. If you find the Firewall feature is turn on please turn it off from Control Panel.
