    It’s pretty much gotta somehow be related to permissions/authentication. Microsoft is not ambiguous about access denied errors, and we have not ever heard of an access denied error that didn’t have something to do with the machine denying access due to something relating to permissions. That said, I can also tell you that a normal installation of 2016 behaves just the same as a normal installation of 2012 in terms of having no issues using BP and WMI. We have many customers using 2016 without issues, and we have no issues with 2016 and BP internally here. All that said, I would suggest you start with the link below. Please go through it carefully and make any necessary changes. Additionally please note that testing with a local account does not create an apples/apples situation because local account authentication requires additional registry modification on the target, as described toward the bottom of the link.

    If you continue to have trouble after that I would refer you to Microsoft’s WMI troubleshooting page.
