I execute my WMI script queries from the local Operating System against a remote machine without problem but when i try to execute the same remote WMI queries from hostmonitor or explore them from WMI Explorer i obtain the message: "Error: Access denied"
Why?
Thanks in advance.

I think, you should use "Connection Manager" to setup account for remote machine and mark "WMI" from the list of supported test methods:

In "WMI Explorer" you may use menu "Action" -> "Connect to remote host" to specify necessary account.

Also, if HostMonitor is started as service, you should specify user account with necessary rights on Service page in the Options dialog (admin account if you want to perform all kind of tests)
================
When HostMonitor starts as a service, it uses the system account (as all interactive services). But this account may not have all the necessary permissions, so some tests will not work correctly (UNC test, "disk free space" test for shared drives, "CPU Usage" test for remote machines, etc). If you need these tests, you will need to assign a special user account on the Service page in the Options dialog. In this case HostMonitor will impersonate the security context of the user. Do not change the account using the system utility "Services". If you do so, HostMonitor may be unable to interact with the desktop.
