Hey eltate, you need to be running Powershell v2.

Hey elate:

The -Authentication was put into v2 to help with this issue. You cannot use get-wmiobject in POSH v1 to connect to namespaces that require packet privacy (see my earlier post on this subject). You'd need to use [wmisearcher] or the .NET framework and then set the authentication in there. Sorry. It CAN be done though, just a bit more work.
