I have tried building WMI in WinPE 2005 with the /WMI switch at least half a dozen times and added the oc.bat to the startnet.cmd file and still my vb scripts that work on an xp machine will not work. I run wbemtest and I am unable to connect to a WMI namespace( cimv2, wmi, etc.), I get an error rpc server unavialable. I also ran the buildoptionalcomponents.vbs file and copied the files that it generates into the appropriate directories. Any advice is appreciated. thanks
