Username for local Account

Dear Community,

I have two Data Centres, in one of these DC I'm already monitoring all the VM's with SolarWinds (SW is also installed on one of the VM's from this DC). I've changed the Firewall rules so I can ping some of the VM's from the other DC.
The problem is that most of these VM's from the second DC are not part of the domain and I only have local admin accounts.

I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions, please?

Thank you in advance,
Andrei

Did you open up any ports for WMI / RPC specifically?

Hi,

I didn't, should I try to open the 2 mentioned ports?

To start with... WMI uses ephemeral ports which windows dynamically grabs ports out of system pre-defined allocated ranges on-demand.

Good morning,

I am confused with that amount of ports about which one should be open. I am monitoring the CPU, Memory, Response Time, Packet Loss and node status (Up/Down). I've read that documentation, does it mean Port 135 for WMI is not enough right?

Sorry @sum_giais i'm a begginer.

Thank you for your patience,
Andrei
