I am running the following code to check if certain programs are running.

Code:
[COLOR=#242729][FONT=Consolas]##This Script is for checking status of 3 processes TestMgr.exe, iTestConsole.exe and tdefine.exe in all testBed machines[/FONT][/COLOR]

The error is "The RPC server is unavailable. <exception from="" hresult:="" 0x800706ba="">

On another PC that is doing exactly the same job this works without fault.
I know the IP is OK as I can open file explorer and using the IP see the shared directories. Also the IP is pingable. Checked with nslookup that the IP returns the correct host name and the host name returns the correct IP.
I have checked the firewall and it is OK
I have checked services.msc and made sure that the RPC WMI services are running.
I have checked the registry values I have checked Internet connection and its protocols</exception>

Have about run out of ideas
