Is There a Way to Disable WinRM in Node Properties?

Question

In the properties of the Linux nodes in our environment, we manually disable WinRM when a new node is added. Is there a way to disable this via a script? I didn't see anything in SWQL Studio regarding WinRM. I imagine it doesn't technically matter if we leave it enabled seeing as how these are Linux nodes but it would be nice to know how to access those properties programmatically.

As a side question: is there documentation for the properties and verbs in SWQL Studio that goes into more detail than just providing the name and data type? Anything like short descriptions or possible values would be helpful.

Thanks!

On linux nodes that setting has no usage. It's only applicable when WMI is chosen as polling method. It's whether to poll WMI over DCOM/RPC or WinRM.

Hi @jordank85

Sorry i dont have any suggestions for SDK/Studio/script, but then if you are manually doing this while onboarding a device you should also be able to do it in bulk through Manage Nodes via SolarWinds GUI.

You will just need to use a filter in Manage Nodes → Group by Node → Vendor/Machine type → Click on Linux, bulk edit properties.

Hope this helps.
