Understanding WMI vs.Security

[RubenZ]

I need to know if I understand the thematic ( WMI vs. Security) because I've
to query domain controller ...

To enable that someone can get responds to WMI queries I've to enable the
remoteWMI on the domain controller, right?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...isdk/wmi/securing_a_remote_wmi_connection.asp

From the machine I want to ask from, I can tune up the connection to be
secure as possible:

1. Useage of default authentication and impersonation level which provides
WMI to specify the manner in which the queries should be transmitted and what
will do the queries ... and to help COM how much security is needet to access
the process on the client machine, right?

So best solution will be if I use "PktIntegrity" as AuthenticationLevel and
"Impersonate" as ImpersonationLevel. ??

2. To use Kerberos as authentication protocoll to specify the authentication
method

Please give me feedback if I've understand it - or not ....

... the only message to transport the query and response encrypted is to use
PktPrivacy?

Many thanks in advanced
