Are these WinNT systems?  That error is WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND according to
a search at MSDN.  IIRC, NT does not have WMI installed, though it can
run it.

If they are not NT, then the problem must presumably be related to a
fault in the WMI installation.

In any case, it would appear to be a configuration problem, not a
scripting fault.  You may get more help at the WMI or a sys admin
group.
