Failing to connect to a host with WMI

[tester_V]

Happy Friday!
I think I managed to install "WMI" module.
When I use:

1	import wmi

My script does not error out. The remote host is online, I used the admin username and pass.
Script:

1 2 3 4 5

try:     connection = wmi.WMI('245.234.44.56', user="Some_User", password="password")     print("connection is established") except:     print("connection failed")

Output:
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'SWbemLocator', 'Access is denied. ', None, 0, -2147024891), None)

I'm wondering if Python has everything installed to make the connection...

Thank you.

It looks like the connection was refused by the site.
The code seems OK.
check your pwd,, etc.

I do not understand why it did not work.
I tried different snippet and this one works:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

import wmi   ip = '101.17.48.11' username = 'Some_user' password = 'somepassword' from socket import * try:     print("Establishing connection to %s" %ip)     connection = wmi.WMI(ip, user=username, password=password)     print("Connection established") except wmi.x_wmi:     print("Your Username and Password of "+getfqdn(ip)+" are wrong.")

I'd like to get a processes list of the remote host I just connected .
Should I make a batch file and make a 'call' to run it or call the Power shell?
What is a proper way to do this?

Thank you.

Hi,
What about starting a batch file on a remote host?
I can copy a batch file to read the processes of a Host.
Does anyone know what is the command for that?
I cannot find anything useful on how to do that.

Thank you.

Well, I was looking for an example for a few days and just found it.
Plugged it in ad it works!
here is the whole snipped if anyone is interested:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

import wmi from socket import *   ip = '101.17.48.11' username = 'Some_user' password = 'somepassword' proc=open('c:\\somedir','w') try:     print("Establishing connection to %s" %ip)     connection = wmi.WMI(ip, user=username, password=password)     connection = wmi.WMI(ip)     print("Connection established")       for process in connection.Win32_Process():         #print("ID: {0}\nProcessName: {1}\n".format(process.ProcessId,process.Name))         print(f"Proccess-ID/Nmae -> {process.ProcessId} - {process.Name} ")         proc.write(str(process.ProcessId)+","+process.Name+"\n")         except wmi.x_wmi:     print("Your Username and Password of "+getfqdn(ip)+" are wrong.") proc.close()

Thank you everyone for the support and coaching!
I think this is the best place to learn Python.

Some where along the line, you changed IP addresses, first attempt shows 245.234.44.56
The one that works shows: 101.17.48.11

it is not real IP it was just an example.
I'm ok now.
THank you!
