I'm pretty sure (well, with 1.1.1 anyway) that you can't really monitor
devices via WMI only - or you could, but you'd not get any performance
data - only windows services and a ping monitor (machine up/down).
You could put your Windows CD on a network share to grab the necessary
files, or if you have Ghost Solution Suite or the like use AutoInstaller
to create an exe for that.
The point is I think you do really want SNMP even with v2.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've recently installed the Zenoss Virtual Appliance for VMware. The install was very easy, thankfully, since I'm not really much good with Linux. It's working very well, and I am monitoring a number of Windows servers using SNMP. However, I am having to touch each box as I install SNMP, as the Windows CD is required when you install it. Of course this is a hassle. I would like to use WMI instead, which seems to be enabled by default on most of the servers on my network. I'd like to discover devices using WMI, but I can't seem to make it work. I saw a post which said that the newest version (1.9.something?) is easier to use with WMI, but I have 1.1.2, which is what comes with the virtual appliance.
So, my question is, can I upgrade the virtual appliance to the newest version?
Or, is there an easy way to get WMI monitoring working on my current
installation?
Please keep in mind that I am a Linux newbie, so if you want me to use the
command line, please tell me in detail what to do. Be gentle!
Thanks.
