Hi All,

Kindly help on the below error while configuring clock drift template.

Output: ==============================================

Hi Praveen,

The first error indicates that you aren't passing the correct credentials, if you look at the powershell monitor and the 'Credential for Monitoring:', you'll see that it defaults to <None>.

If you set it to <Inherit credentail from node> or any other valid credential, does it work?

If it;s still failing the actual commnad that it is running is: Get-WmiObject Win32_UTCTime -ComputerName ${IP} -Credential ${CREDENTIAL};

If you open a Powershell prompt on your Orion server, you can test it further.

$cred = Get-Credential                #This will open a logon prompt enter the user name and password

$ip = '192.168.100.1'                   #Replace this with the IP of the remoter computer

Get-WmiObject Win32_UTCTime -ComputerName $ip -Credential $cred

Did that return any results?
