DCOM on HP Systems Insight Manager

[sdean3]

My systems event log is capturing DCOM errors to various systems which insite manager is managing, Error is "Not able to communicate to system " I also get "Class not registered". If any one has information on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

When insight manager does a "Identification System" task, it will try to communicate with all of the managed systems using the configured protocols. If HPSIM is configured to use WBEM, it will try to communicate using DCOM to all your devices. That included switches, printers, (r)Ilo cards... everything.

If you look at the events, they should all be non Windows computers or computers without a webem interface (or possibly with the wrong username/password configured for webem access).

If you use WBEM, it's enabled/disabled globally in HPSIM. There's no way (at least in 4.0) to disable it on the protocol settings for a specific device. (you can only change the user/password settings)
I tried to disable the logging for WMI in Windows on the WMI mapper/proxy server but I still got errors during my "Identify Systems" task.

Unfortunately I didn't find any other way to prevent the message from being logged unless I disable WBEM from HPSIM globally.
