When I got this error monitoring my Windows machines, I noticed a number of posts regarding this message. I'd just like to share how I finally got it resolved.
Most posts put the error as the username\password in zProperties and entering it as domain\username....I tried that with no luck multiple times... I even tried acknowledging the error and putting it in history... I then tried the command line (as a post in the groups here) wmic -U <domain>\<username> //<servername> "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem" ensuring that the username had local admin priviliages to the machine in question. While running this command, when it asks for the password of the account you specify, it was coming up as Password for [WORKGROUP\DomainUsername]: which was odd since I was specifying a domain\username looking at the command wmic help, I noticed that it requires Domain/Username (noticed the direction of the slash (/) ) as soon as I ented the command like that, I got an output with no errors wmic -U <domain>/<username> //<servername> "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem" It asked for my password: Password for [<domain>\<username>]: and all was happy. I went to Zenoss, ensured any events relating to this were acknowledged and put into history. Went into zProperties and entered in the username in zWinUser as <domain>/<username> entered the password in zWinPassword, modeled the device and everything was green. No errors. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=22459#22459 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
