I get the same thing in my log.

WMI is working fine, graphs and all, for 3 windows systems on the same subnet as the zenoss machine. I ran in to issues with the machine on a remote subnet, and started troubleshooting WMI connectivity from my local subnet.

Once I was able to successfully follow this test:

http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/howtos/how-to-test-wmi- connectivity/?searchterm=%20wmi

I still couldn't get rid of the error event:

ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT: The semaphore timeout period has expired. (121)

When I looked at the zenwinmodeler logs, I find the same message corresponding to each time I cleared the error and it was alerted again.

My only reservation about this issue is that this particular machine was part of a domain at one point, and some left over settings may be preventing WMI from working properly. This machine was the only one that I needed to do anything to in order to get mbemtest to work properly. As it turns out, wbemtest working doesn't necessarily guarantee wmi will work in zenoss.

Johnny,

Have you checked the eventlog on the remote Windows system to see if any errors are registering there? You may also want to check to see if the Windows or any other firewall is enabled.
