I did not use the domain admins group at all to get my install working, so no.
When I added my devices, I added by their IP address in Zenoss, not FQDN. Once the device was successfully added, they show up in zenoss with only their domain name, not FQDN. So in my environment, even though I host two domains in my forest, all my devices are listed by server name only (e.g. SERVER1 and SERVER2) NOT (e.g. SERVER1.MYDOMAIN.INT and SERVER2.ACCOUNTING.INT). So, from the server you installed zenwin on, you should be able to "net view" by using server name only (e.g. 'net view \\SERVER1'). I'd also suggest that if you added your servers into Zenoss by FQDN, try removing them and re-add them by using the IP in the "Device Name" field. This too is why it is important to have the "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" service running and "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" set on your TCP/IP stack; at least that is what I used instead of running a WINS service. - Ryon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wesley.Sparks Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 1:57 PM To: General discussion of using zenoss system Subject: RE: [zenoss-users] Major WMI issues This is a built from scratch domain running at full 2003 both forest and domain wide. I guess I didn't convey that properly, I have the same groups as you do, I have an Administrators group under the Builtin OU and Domain Admins under the users OU, no domain administrators under Builtin OU. So you add your zen service account to the Administrators group under the Builtin OU (that is what I did), do you also make them a part of the domain admins? Yes I have tried it from my workstation and from the server. I read in a previous post that the devices need to be setup in Zen with there FQDN, is this still not the case or does it really matter? I know the scripts in zenwin does a lookup of the FQDN, and yes both DNS and netbios names are correct and resolve. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments is to be considered legally privileged and confidential.
