It is a right out of the box install. Pulling WMI fails. What account does the Splunk server pull WMI data from or what initially do I have to change or setup (i.e. user accounts). I don't see anywhere to configure WMI access credentials that Splunk uses.</P> <P>Thanks.</P> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:51:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40066#M1341 ewilliams79 2010-08-31T02:51:46Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40067#M1342 <P>You can find out here: <A href="http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/MonitorWMIdata#Security_and_remote_access_considerations" rel="nofollow">http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/MonitorWMIdata#Security_and_remote_access_considerations</A></P> <P>The account is the account that the Splunk service runs as. In a distributed Splunk environment, it is the account that the Splunk forwarder services runs as (assuming the forwarder is used to collect the WMI data).</P> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:57:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40067#M1342 gkanapathy 2010-08-31T03:57:42Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40068#M1343 <P>This link is broken.</P> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:03:06 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40068#M1343 the_wolverine 2012-03-30T19:03:06Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40069#M1344 <P>All links are broken it seems</P> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:28:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/WMI-Can-t-poll-server/m-p/40069#M1344 matthewcanty 2013-04-17T13:28:31Z
