SIM 5.2 and PMP 4.7 w/ PMP Client Logon Failures

[Daniel Campbell UTPA]

I am trying to configure PMP to log the performance of an Exchange server running W2K3 Ent SP1. PMP is unable to query the WMI database on the client server.

The security log on the Client Server contains 8 sets of the following entries:

I have other servers on the same Domain using the same global protocol settings that work just fine. The domain user account is a Domain Admin account and has full access to the servers. Error code: 0xC0000064 means that the account is not found. I am completely lost on this one. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I was able to resolve this issue already. I removed all global wbem protocol settings from SIM using the command

mxnodesecurity -r -p wbem

This causes the wbem polling to use the proper credentials when polling the client servers. The other setup appears to have been trying to use a local account on each of the clients instead of a domain account.

Whatever the reason, it is working now.
