"Wait for Remote Computer" uses default account when password blank

The “Wait for Remote Computer” action uses current Windows credentials if WMI credentials “Password” field is blank, even if a “Username” is specified.

Due to this, you can not use with accounts that have no passwords set.

In my opinion, the “Use current Windows authentication” should only be used if “Username” is not specified. The password field should have no influence on this (or at least I can not imagine any reason for that)

Hi Christoph

I will check this on monday, however my understanding is that wmi remoting cannot use accounts that do not have a password… I believe this is the case for all of windows remoting technologies.

I that case, there is of course nothing you can do about that.
