Required Windows User Permissions for Windows Server Discovery

[masahironaka]

I would like to discover a Windows server.

Could you tell me about the user requirements for the Windows server?

1. Access to the WMI service to the current namespace and sub-namespaces.
2. Access to the Powershell service.
3. Membership in the Distributed COM Users local security group.

Does the default "Administrator" user meet all of the following requirements? Since the "Administrator" user has the highest privileges, is there no additional work needed?

A good start is the docs page..

Thank you.

I have checked the documentation. I would like to know if the default "Administrator" user meets all of the following requirements.

[doug_schulze]

the best is a domain user that has local admin privileges on the targets you are looking to discover

Make sure the port is open, mid server is allowed to communicate with the devices (whitlist the mid server ip) Credential wise the way you said, it should be enough.
