To lock down WMI to a static port, you can run the following command from the command line:
C:\winmgmt /standalonehost

Once completed, you will need to restart the winmgmt service on the target box you are on. You can do this as follows:
C:\sc stop winmgmt
C:\sc start winmgmt

Do note the following items regarding the commands mentioned above:
  1. If there are other services dependent on this service that you will have to also restart those services as well
  2. This command only works in Windows 2008 or later; Previous versions of Windows do not allow this to be configured
