Title: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG 8.0 Eval - Monitor Events

You could setup secure sessions to each managed server with a batch file.

 

i.e c:\net use \\Managedservername\IPC$ /user:domainorservername\userid pa$$word

 

Only requirement that I can think of is that WUG needs to run in the user context, not as a service.

 

This might work... yet again sometimes secure channels are not very stable and may time out.

OK - that leads to my question:

Is is possible to monitor event logs on remote servers in non-trusted domains?  Here is our setup:

We support our customers via router-to-router VPN tunnels.  We can remote to their servers and workstations as required using their private addressing scheme.  We can log into their servers with local domain accounts set up for us.  My problem is how to authenticate from WUG so that I can monitor their services and event logs.

That's the problem.  You need to change the WhatsUp Gold Windows Events service so that it logs in under an account that has Administrative privileges on the other systems that you want to monitor.  (If you are using Domain security, then an account in the "Domain Admins" group usually does the trick).

You don't need to install anything on the remote box, as long as it is running Windows 2000 or XP.
