Script Host: Permission Denied: 'GetObject'

[Punkrulz]

Hey guys,

New Script host coming up, but we haven't had any changes made to this file. The error is as follows:

Script: ********\legalnotice.vbs
Line: 15
Char: 1
Error: Permission Denied: 'GetObject'
Code: 800A0046
Source: Microsoft VBScript Runtime Error

Now I've opened up legalnotice.vbs. Here is what line 15 is. Bear in mind, nothing has changed recently to my knowledge so I don't know what it is.

Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

Any ideas?

Did the security permissions change on the account in which this script is run? If the script hasn't changed, then your environment has.

Monkey,

Yes, the environment has changed at one point by my co-worker. He changed the some settings involving WMI in the group policy. I have, however, reverted his changes back to the defaults and thus theoretically should have resolved the problem.
