I think the problem here is the Documentation, leading many to believe
you need to do something on a Windows machine (not since 2.x).
Basically, if you have a Domain account with Administrative privs, WMI
will work with that account.
So, in your case, you'd want
zWinUser : DOMAIN\services
zWinPassword: <password>
You have to put the password in for it to work. You should be able to
get rid of any local user altogether, and I think that may be causing
the confusion.
You do not need to install any software on the Windows machines beyond
SNMP Informant - that is for Zenwin all you do is the above.

so i have a domain admin user called 'services', which i've had for a long time
for such things.
on the machine i'm trying to monitor (and i guess when this works properly, it
can retrieve the data for other domain machines - that zenwin stuff only needs
to be on one domain member server) i also created a local administrator account
with the same name and pw (from some tips page)
so this local user is the user the service uses, and it has service rights and
the services can start properly.
in the Class-level zProps i set the zenwin user/pass as .\services and the
password.
in the Device-level zProps i set them to blank, because apparently WMI service
must use no user-pass when connecting to WMI on itself.
DCOM seems to be set properly, and WMI services running and so on.
i can run wbemtest.exe, seems to work but no documentation explains how to test
it - i can connect to local root\default namespace and Enum classes and such.
if i run zeneventlog.py manually, it seems to work.

if i run zenwin.py, wmi error...

if i start the services, the logs are filled with similar wmi warnings and just
grow and grow.
verbose / debug output from the python scripts isn't much help, just a lot of
noise about imports and such - i was trying to trace the code to a place to see
what credentials/details are being used to open the WMI connection...
