ITA can´t discover and take inventary from Optiplex.

Hello,

 

    Pls. need help with the following problem.

 

   I have a ITA software loaded in my Management station PC, also loaded CI 7.2 in one Optiplex GX260. 

 

   In the Optilex Gx260 I configured an account as follow:

 

Account: CIMUser

Passowrd: DELL (Uppercase)

 

Also, I included this CIMUser as part of the administrator group in the optiplex PC.

 

When I execute a discovery and inventary now from Management Station, the optiplex PC is not discovery.  I run tools--troubleshooting over the optiplex ip the screen show me:

 

IP: 192.168.0.23

Result: Cant´conect to - Windows name space

 

What could be the problem?

I´ll appreciate your help.

    Thanks for posting!  Make sure you install OpenManage Client Connector (OMCC) on your ITA system and OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) on your client system.  OMCI works similarly to OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) because it is necessary to give ITA something to communicate with on the system that is being managed.

    If you have firewall turned on at the managed node you have to allow for WMI exception in the firewall

    You need to enable the remote admin execption in the managed node running XP SP2 and VISTA using the command "netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable" described in the following article,

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389286.aspx. I believe for discovery ITA needs minimum Connection 1 described in the article and to recieve events ITA would also need Connection 2

    Hi and thanks,

     

       I loaded the OMCC in the managed node (GX260 PC), also I checked the Firewall and it is already disabled but the problem continue.

     

       The PC continue appearing in the Unknown category and not under "Client Desktop".

    Put OMCC on the ITA system (management station), OMCI goes on the client system (managed node) you are trying to discover.

    Ita can be installed on Windows  Xp and also in windows Server 2000 and 2003.  What version of the OMCC can I install if I used Windows 2003 as a Ita station?  Whre I can download this OMCC?

    Is the 'netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable' command persistent, or must it be entered each time the computer is started?  I tried to use the Group Policy setting on my PDC, but the computers included aren't affected.
