WMI fails with IP, but works with hostname

-

i having issue wmi throws "rpc server unavailable" message when connecting ip address.  however, hostname of same server connects fine.  using following workflow test connection:

1) start -> run -> "wbemtest"

2) click connect

3) enter "\\ip_address\root\default" appropriate ip address

4) enter appropriate credentials

5) click "connect"

this when error shows up.  connecting server in same network , there no internal firewall/security in place knowledge.  have had no issues other servers in network, it's 1 that's giving me trouble.

i have not seen issue often, it's not first time.  have had couple other clients i've run issue , never found solution.  have seen little information regarding online.

thank you,

steve

the issue had corrected reverse dns records.  in our case, had multiple rdns records same ip, causing problem intermittent.  fixes well.

oclist /xml or /?

oclist have qualifiers? can behaviour changed, example output xml?   given previous comments andrew m , comments in forums , blogs think answer no, it’s simple app calling underlying api, thought i'd ask can't seem find anything.   why asking question? i'd @ least 2 things oclist (apart nicer looking output [which i'm not going get], dependances listed [dicussed in forum , ruled out], , refrushing add ad componets , telling use dcpromo [which in banner know]): - whether installing component cuase / require reboot (currently believe qwave , printing services require reboot)   - xml output, can't justify team looking see if can commality with full server   fwiw :j   hi,   oclist not have qualifiers or ways change output. when iis came in late, make oclist output longer, unfortunately late make significant changes.   i'll take feedback , add our list next version.   thanks,   andrew   ...
