If you have enabled WBEM and have the WMI mapper installed, one of the interrogatories will be through DCOM as that is the transport WMI uses.<BR /><BR />An attempted connection using WMI/DCOM to a device that does not support it (e.g. switch, printer) will result in a DCOM error. If you have multiple login/password combinations identified in the global protocol settings page, HP SIM will use each one of them in an attempt to make a connection. The ones that turn out to be invalid for a particular device will fail to log on and will result in a DCOM error.

It turns out that message is generated by the OS/Microsoft and not by HPSIM so we can't change the error message either.
