Hello,

 

After getting the SNMP working, I am now struggling with getting WMI working.

 

This is monitoring servers that are not part of a domain.

 

I have installed Opmanager on one of these servers, and it can communicate fine with itself; ie WMI and SNMP all good.

However when trying to connect to another server, the SNMP is working, however the WMI just keeps failing with Access Denied messages.

I have created a new user specifically for WMI access and have given it Execute Methods, Provider Write, Enable Account, Remote Enable and Read Security permissions at the root level (with access cascading to subnamespaces).

 

I tried adding the account to the Administrators local group, but this made no difference.

 

I have also tried using the local administrator account, but this fails (Access Denied) also.

 

I have tried with and without the server name/ip address (ie servernameuccount)

 

Is there some other policy/setting (or similar) that is likely to be blocking these requests?

 

This is between Windows 2008 R2 servers; there is no firewall enabled on either of the 2 servers.I am trying to get this setup as a proof of concept so it would be great if we could get this working.

 

Thanks in advance.

Troy
