WinRM Polling

avilt

I am evaluating latest Solarwinds Platform 125.4.3.6011 for Windows Monitoring using WinRM. I have configured WinRM using group policies in a domain environment. From NMS server, Test-WSMan -ComputerName "Server01" is working fine. On NMS Settings → All Settings, Polling Settings → Windows Connection → WinRMOnly is selected. Scanning is performed using Domain Admin Credentials and target devices are selected using FQDN of target systems. Name Resolution is working. But when I launch network discovery, it never attempts WinRM polling (as per firewall logs I dont see tcp/5985 etc). How to resolve this?

I tried adding under ICMP and later tried changing to WinRM but it fails at authentication test. I am using domain admin credentials. Surprisingly NMS is also part of same domain and I am able to poll NMS using WinRM.

Hi @avilt ! I always start in the Solarwinds logs directory C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs and search there. Because of the sheer number of files if I don't know which one I'm looking for I also use "findstr" on occasion to help me sift through the haystack. If you find anything there, please come back and post it up for further scrutiny and/or future reference!
