You may already know what Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) is. If you aren\u2019t, you can read more about it <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/hh825141.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since I often build and rebuild my lab VMs, I keep track of my licenses using VAMT 3.0. Today, I built a new physical server that is going to be a Hyper-V host within my lab infrastructure. I chose to build it with minimal overhead, thus selected option to deploy server core instead of full GUI. After I assigned IP and joined the domain, I was able to connect to it using Server Manager from another Server 2012 server which I routinely use for managing my lab hosts. However, when I tried to refresh it\u2019s licensing data in VAMT, it gave me an error:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>unable to connect to wmi service on remote machine<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since I was able to manage the server remotely using server manager, it was clear that firewall rules for remote management were enabled correctly. This was accomplished when I used sconfig to configure my host after it was installed. The screenshot below shows the option:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bhargavs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"image\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/bhargavs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/image_thumb.png\" width=\"244\" height=\"125\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking at VAMT requirements, I figured, it has to be WMI access through firewall which isn\u2019t configured. Here\u2019s how you can check for it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Get-NetFirewallRule -Enabled False | Where DisplayName -Match &#8220;Windows Management I&#8221; | FT Name,DisplayName \u2013AutoSize<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The result of the above cmdlet showed built-in WMI rules that were disabled in firewall:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Name&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DisplayName<br \/>&#8212;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>WMI-RPCSS-In-TCP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Windows Management Instrumentation (DCOM-In)<br \/>WMI-WINMGMT-In-TCP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-In)<br \/>WMI-WINMGMT-Out-TCP&nbsp;&nbsp; Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-Out)<br \/>WMI-ASYNC-In-TCP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Windows Management Instrumentation (ASync-In)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All I had to do was run the following to enable them:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Enable-NetFirewallRule -Name WMI-RPCSS-In-TCP,WMI-WINMGMT-In-TCP,WMI-WINMGMT-Out-TCP,WMI-ASYNC-In-TCP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Piping results from Get-NetFirewallRule to Enable-NetFirewallRule would have worked too.<\/p>\n<p>After I enabled WMI rules, goes without saying, VAMT was able to connect to the host and verify licensing information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are Microsoft\u2019s volume license customer or an MSDN subscriber, the question of tracking usage of your volume license activation may have surfaced.
