title: Error when applying PowerShell DSC configuration
body: <p>I have a simple PowerShell DSC configuration block that ensures that a user account does not exist, and when I attempt to apply it to the local system using <code>Start-DscConfiguration</code>, I am receiving an error message similar to the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The WMI service returned an 'access denied' error. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I apply the DSC configuration successfully?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the configuration block I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>configuration MyConfig {
      User Trevor2 {
          UserName = 'Trevor2';
          Ensure = 'Absent';
      }
  }
  
  $Path = 'c:\dsc\MyConfig';
  MyConfig -OutputPath $Path;
  
  Start-DscConfiguration -Wait -Verbose -Path $Path;
  # Clean up MOF files
  Remove-Item -Path $Path -Recurse;
  </code></pre>
