Is there anything special that needs to be setup to monitor a 2008 server using Windows Checks?



I get the following error:



Error: Windows scanning could not be performed. Connection denied to x.x.x.x . Make sure that the username and password are correct.



The account I am using for the checks has local admin rights on the server.

    It is a security configuration issue on your Windows 2008 server.



    Following might help (taken from Microsoft support forum):

    1. Add the Admin account used to connect to the local administrators group

    2. Run dcomcnfg. Drill into Component Service until you can right click and choose properties on My Computer.

    3. On the COM Security tab, select Edit Limits & Edit Defaults under Launch and Activation Permissions. Add the Admin account explicitly and give allow on all attributes.

    4. Go to Control Panel, Users. Turn off UAC.
