WMI and Windows Server 2012

mark.luscombe over 10 years ago

I cant get Windows 2012 to work with WMI, when I do the webemtest I get access denined and cant add the node into SolarWinds, seems to be a common issue at our site. We dont have any issues with server 2008.

The user account we are using to connect via WMI is a domain administrator account within the domain the Windows 2012 server resides.

Check the Troubleshooting chapter of the SAM Admin Guide.

Since you are receiving an "Access Denied" message, that means the remote computer is actively refusing the connection and the issue is related to security permissions somehow. In other cases where I've seen this issue come up it has normally been a Group Policy setting that was overlooked. I recommend going over the WMI/DCOM permissions, trying the local administrator account instead of the domain admin, or temporarily moving the server object to an OU that has no group policy settings, running "gpupdate /force" to revert those settings, and trying again.
It's probably easier to use an application like WMI Explorer to validate WMI connectivity and permissions issues outside of SAM. If you're more comfortable using wbemtest that's even better.

I think I must have been doing the wbemtest incorrect and I have tried again this morning following the SolarWinds KB and have been able to connect and do the recursive search, I have also been able to attach using wmiexplorer
