I am trying to accomplish the same thing. I was able to get it to work on my experimental XP machine that is on the domain. I can not get it to work from either Domain Controller. Here are the steps that I took:
* Installed and configured SNMP * Created a user called Zenoss on the domain and added it to the Distributed COM Users group * Membership in the Distributed COM USers group only effects DCs. For member servers or desktops need to edit DCOM permissions: - Run dcomcnfg - Go to component services - Double click on computers - Right click on My Computer and go to properties - Click on the COM Security tab -- Under Access Permissions click Edit Limits --- Add user and give remote access rights -- Under Launch and activation permissions click Edit limits --- Add user and give remote launch and remote activation rights * Go to computer management > Services and applications > WMI Control - Left click on WMI Control and then right click on it and go to properties - Click on the Security tab - Doubleclick on Root and then click on CIMV2 - Click the security button - Click Advanced -- Click Add and add account from before -- Choose Apply onto this namespace and subnamespaces -- Give the following permissions: Enable account, Remote Enable This worked fine for the XP machine (after I temporarily turned off its firewall), but it will not work on the DCs. Please let me know if you find anything out, or if you notice any security threats I may be inviting by doing this. My primary focus is to be as secure as possible, hence not using a domain admin or local admin account for this.[/list] -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=20903#20903 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
