WMI mapper proxy configuration

Robert Luessi — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 10:02:05 GMT

I want to use the WMI mapper to manage Windows hosts behind a firewall, but on a different Ports then the default that uses port 5989. Which configurations have to be changed on the CMS and on the Proxy System behind the firewall, that the WMI mapper still works?

Thanks,
Did you ever configured a different Port on a WMI Mapper proxy?
Do I need to configure something on the WMI client side?
Documentation only says:
In the Port number field, enter a port number. The WMI Mapper Proxy uses this port number to communicate with the WMI client.

Hi Robert,

Was just going through this document called "Managing HP servers through firewalls with HP SIM 5.0 " here:
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#b3

It gives information about WMI mapper through firewalls
See if this helps you.....
