-
Perform one of the following steps:
- To remove the user or group, click

Additional considerations
- To perform this task, you must be an
administrator or use a domain account that is a member of the
Administrators group on the computer you are managing.
- WMI security is verified only when a user
logs on to Windows Management services. Thus, any changes made to a
user's permissions while the user is connected do not take
effect until the next time the user logs on to WMI. For example, if
a user's access is revoked, the changes do not take effect
until the user logs off Windows Management services and attempts to
log on again.
- You can modify user or group permissions on a
remote or local computer. To access a remote computer, right-click
WMI Control, click Connect to another computer, click
Another computer, and then type the name of the computer to
which you want to connect. If you are using WMI Control from
the Computer Management console, right-click the Computer
Management node to connect to the other computer.
