RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Installing WhatsUp Gold Windows Events service on remote servers

No,   The event log monitor uses the UserID of the system the application is running on (Or the UserID assigned to the service). This UserID must have sufficient privileges to look at the event log.  (This works just like using the computer management, and connecting to another computer.)    There is no client, IP address, etc that needs to be changed/removed.   The one caveat is that the if the WUG system is in a different domain, trusts will need to be established.  Currently there is no "connect as" option.  (But hopefully Ipswitch is working on that, right ;)   -Terry Wood www.intelek-tech.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michel Caissie Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 10:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Installing WhatsUp Gold Windows Events service on remote servers    >> No, you don't need to install anything on the systems being monitored, as long as they are running Windows 2000 or XP.   >>  If they are running NT 4.0 you  might   need to install the Windows Management Instrumentation Core (WMI CORE), which   >> is a component of Windows that   comes from Microsoft.The   WhatsUp Gold Windows Events service runs only on the  >>  WUG system to act as the collector.    I have  a question regarding  this .  I was trying to understand how this work  without an agent on the device , but as far as i understand Wug  will  call the  WMI  and  ask him to collect a specific event log  and  send a  notification  to  WUG when it occurs ... correct ???   So, on the device ,  there  must be a place somewhere , maybe  in the WMI registry ,  where  the IP of the WUG is registered , so the WMI knows  where to send the  notification ....correct ???   If i am wrong  ,  can  you please  explain to me how  all this  work...   And if i am correct ,  it brings the following  question;   Lets  say  i configure  WUG  to  monitor a specific  event  on a device .  And  2 months later  i decide  i don't  need to monitor  this device anymore,  so  i delete it  from  the  map.  Will the  device continu  to send notifications  to WUG ?  Do i have  to  remove  the Event  monitoring before i delete the device ?   thanks   Michel  - little confuse - Caissie
