kb96: Windows collections for managed devices with Windows Firewall enabled


By csmith - Posted on 16 November 2009

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) access must be permitted by Windows Firewall if the firewall is enabled using default settings. You can configure the firewall to allow WMI access by executing the following in a command prompt on the managed device:

netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin

****Please note:
After installing Service Pack 2 on Windows XP, Windows Firewall is enabled by default. Please check the firewall configuration after applying SP2 to Windows XP devices that you plan to monitor with Longitude.
