problem connecting to server

Hi,

I want to run MnageEngine as a limited user. I want to give it the rights on the host machine to do its job, no more.

ELA (event log analyzer) by default runs as a local system account. I created new local user account and gave it full control permission to the ELA folder. ELA launched fine. I added a number of windows hosts but ELA shows an orange circle tih white square on it. I found that this means "problem connecting to server".

I eddited permissions on the root of WMI namespace on the host machine, and ensured that permissions propagate. It didn't do the trick.

I switched back to using local system account but ELA still shows the same status - "problem connecting to server".

I've confirmed that WMI service is running on the host and monitored servers, a;; servers are reachable and there is no authentication failures.

Two questions then:

1. What to do to make ELA start collecting logs

2. What permission do the user account need in order for ELA to work properly?

Again your help is appriciated!

Regards
