James, WhatsUp Gold must run under a local admin or domain admin account in order to check for the status of NT services. There is no option for a "connect as" to monitor other servers in a domain.
This is not a good thing, unless you can physically secure your server and WUG console. Thus, this is why most people use the integrated web interface for displaying the maps. Recommendations need to be made to IPSwitch development to allow this product to connect to a remote device using a specified service account with sufficient admin rights.

I would like to run the application under a user account. When I tried this I saw some very odd behavior. Syslog svc failed, the voice message feature threw up errors, I could not load my default context and I was unable to create another. What is the word? Does WUG just have to run under the admin account or is there a way to do it as a user account? thanks in advance, James McGovern Amann Network Technician Lead Georgia State University IST / UCCS 95 Decatur St. Suite 500 Atlanta, GA 30303 PH: 404.651.1574 FX: 404.651.4408 PG: 404.476.7754 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
