Thanks - turning on the Firewall rule for WMI did the trick

Hello,

I am getting the same issue over and over though I checked on all the forums. i checked all the conditions mentioned in your page and everything seems to be good. I also opened all the ports and configured properly Reporting Services. The account used is the admin so I think I haven't lefty any other option. Yet I keep getting this error. Can anyone please provide me with a new clue because I don't know what to check more to solve this issue

Thank you
