If you don't have rights of the domain administrator you can use custom logon name and password for getting info from remote PC. To do this, select menu "File" -> "Options", then "Custom Logon".
How to use the agent on remote PC
If you have any problems with WMI, you can use agent installed on remote PC. You can install "NAT Pro - Agent" from main Network Asset Tracker Pro installation package.

The natagent.exe closes immediately after the logon script ends.
