Discovery of WORKGROUP Windows 2008 Servers

Hello,

I'm looking for some assistance as we are having issues discovering Windows 2008 servers that aren't bound to a AD domain.

We've ensured the following prerequisites have been met but we are unable to either get a successful reply via a WMIC command (returns Alias Not Found) from the MID server or a credential check in SNOW.

- Firewall has been disabled (WMI rules enabled anyway on all profiles)

- Local admin user created on server and in SNOW

- winrm quickconfig enabled

- WMI service running

- $ADMIN share present

- Powershell installed

 

Thanks,

Ajeet
