This settings are usually all that need to be configured to get WMI working. (Steps 2 and 3 are typically not needed, but they might be in some circumstances)
1. On the target server, go to Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
2. Expand 'Services and Applications'
3. Right click for Properties on 'WMI Control'
4. Select the Security tab
5. Press the Security button
6. Add the monitoring user (if needed), and then be sure to check Remote Enable for the user/group that will be requesting WMI data
<< Allow WMI through Windows Firewall >>
All users (including non-administrators) are able to query/read WMI data on the local computer. For reading WMI data on a remote server, a connection needs to be made from your management computer (where our monitoring software is installed) to the server that you're monitoring (the target server). If the target server is running Windows Firewall (aka Internet Connection Firewall), then you need to tell it to let remote WMI requests through. This can only be done at the command prompt. Run the following on the target computer if it is running a Windows firewall:
netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable
