Follow-up: Per my concern #2, one of my other users in the admin group
is no longer recognized as being in that group when I try to start a
WMI process. I'm concerned that every time I use an ID for WMI and
then reboot I'm going to lose privs for my IDs.

Has anyone seen this? What kind of diagnostics can I do to figure out
why user IDs are suddenly no longer recognized as being admins when
the configuration clearly shows they are?

I'm really concerned that there is some general registry corruption
going on here and at some point I may lose my primary admin users IDs.

I doubt this indicates any kind of growing or spreading problem that would
affect anything else relating to admin privileges. Corruption doesn't
happen predictably like this. I suspect a single configuration issue
somewhere, and I would be surprised if that configuration changed by itself.
We just need to find it and change it.

Also, being an administrator isn't exactly related to running WMI.
Non-admins can do so, with the proper permissions. It's just that admins
have this privilege by default, until that permission is manually removed
from those accounts by a person.

What about the questions I asked in my other post?
