- The Wbemtest application opens.

-
From the Namespace text box, type:\\HOSTNAME\root\cimv2Where HOSTNAME is the name of the remote server throwing the error. If either computer resides on a different domain or within a workgroup, specify administrator credentials that reside on the remote computer or domain.
- Click Connect. You should receive the The RPC server is unavailable error.
NetBIOS issues?
Often hardware manufactures ship Windows computers with names pre-configured that do not meet the NetBIOS specification. Specifically, names longer than 15 characters are often pre-configured. Host names that are not addressable by NetBIOS cause many Windows API calls to fail. When you find a host that has a name longer than 15 characters, rename the host to 15 characters or less then reboot the host.
