Well, basically the ones with WMI problems are ones that Zenoss doesn't like talking to for some reason. Historically, it could be simply the wrong username/password or wrong format username. Now it's more likely the server is Windows Vista/Server 2008 and don't talk as well to WMIC. Or there are several bugs being ironed out in the WMI code.

I believe there was also a timeout issue, so you might want to search this forum on that, there was a way to pull the "older" version of WMIC into zenoss that didn't have this slowness bug.

You could also try the wbemtest from a windows PC to see if there are any other general WMI issues with the computers.

I'm running 2.2.0 and getting used slowly to Zenoss.   Great tool.!

But eventlog collecting is still a mystery to me.
1) After I start zeneventlog using (-v 10), I see this:

2008-07-10 17:38:26 DEBUG zen.zeneventlog: Wmi Probs [ list of devices ] the 
list contains 41 devices (all windows servers), but the /Server/Windows class 
has 160 servers defined. What is this list ?

2) Is it possible that there is a delay between the time the Event gets written to the 
Eventlog file, and the time is can be detected by using the "SELECT * from 
__InstanceCreationEvent..." WMI query ?

Thanks to all.

BTW. I am working on a Sendmail/SpamAssassin plugin. Any ideas are welcomed.
Brgds.
Real.
