"RPC Server Unavailable" troubleshooting

PROBLEM:

Unable to discover WMI tests. When running the WBEMTEST tool from the DGE(x) to the device it returns with an error of 'RPC Server Unavailable'.

SOLUTION: 

  • Verify wbemtest (from the DGE/x) is able to connect and issue queries to the remote host in question
  • If wbemtest is able to successfully connect to the remote host and issue queries, please open a support ticket so that we may be able to assist further
  • If wbemtest encounters "RPC Server Unavailable" please see the following article for items to review:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4494.windows-server-troubleshooting-the-rpc-server-is-unavailable.aspx#RPC_Quick_Fixes
  • The WBEMTest should also return an ERROR code '0x123456', googling the error code will give you even more detail on the exact cause. 
  • e.g. ‘RPC server unavailable’ 0x800706BA                                              https://enterpriseit.co/windows-server/rpc-server-unavailable-0x800706ba/
