Yes. You can give them a normal domain user's account and then set a GPO that assigns security via "WMI Control" at the root to give that user full read access.

We want to cooperate with this effort, but we don't want to give them access to be able to write back to the servers. Is this possible? Is there a tool that can be used without an admin account, in order to gather information from within WMI? Please contact offline for further details, if needed. As always, I sincerely appreciate any assistance any of you may be able to provide.
