This is a known issue with the Microsoft WBEM implementation. DCOM logs an error every time a remote connection fails. If CIM is enabled, IT Assistant tries to connect to every CIM agent that resides at an address that can be contacted using the ping command. If the username and password do not work or if there is no CIM agent, DCOM adds an error message to the event log.
