I get the following error when I launch powershell from SSMS, after right-clicking on a remote SQL instance and choosing "Start powershell":
Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attempt to connect to WMI on server1 failed with the following error: access is denied.
How can I fix this?

What version is the OS is running on the remote server? What version is the database instance?

Please have a look at this MSDN forum post. It references an MSDN article related to SSIS but see the section
"Eliminating the "Access Is Denied" Error
. The original poster resolved his own issue referencing that article so DCOM settings may be a common root cause to both your issue and the SSIS issue referenced in the article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-NZ/sqltools/thread/7431a5a3-ef26-4e61-8a53-64cd616dcf84

You're welcome. If you happen to resolve it and have a moment to post the solution for others that would be great.

Has anyone found a solid fix for this issue? The fix referenced in my MSDN post did not fully resolve the issue for me.

Firewall, RPC/DCOM setting/WMI securtiy might be involved.
The following article might provide some info:

I had the same issue and fixed it.
My problem was when launching Configuration Manager I got an error message in relation to WMI which actually caused the problem you saw in powershell. After I ran:
mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
Both issues were fixed. I am running sql2008 r2 on win 2008 r2. You might need to change the path above.
By the way, why I found out this was because I tried to connect to a different instance on a different server, I didn't get the error. And that reminded me checking Configuration Manager because I had this issue before.
Let me know if this is also the case for you.
