I am trying to make a batch file that will backup the event logs from several 
remote computers.  I am trying to use wmic to do this.  I can do it fine on 
the local machie but I can't get it to work for remote machines.

This is the command I am using.  

wmic /node:"%%i" nteventlog where "Logfilename = 'System'" Call 
BackupEventLog "%TMPFOLDER%\%%i\%%i-SYS-%evlogdate%.evt"

%%i is the remote computers name.  When %%i is the local computer everything 
works but when I set it to a remote computer all I get is a return value of 
3.  I am running the command as a domain admin.
