Greetings all!
I've been tasked to "collect performance data" for several MS servers (2003, 2008R2, 2012R2) using MAP 9.3
I have installed MAP 9.3 on a Windows 7 machine that meets all requirements (hardware, all Windows updates, .NET Framework)
I have a total of 14 MS servers that I would like to collect performance data.
First step I have taken was to run "collect inventory data" which has been100% successful for all servers.
(to collect inventory data, in Inventory and Assessment Wizard I have selected "Windows computers" > "Manually enter computer names and credentials > entered the credentials domain\username with WMI technology)
*** When I attempted to collect performance data using the "Performance Metrics Wizard" the processFAILED
I soon learned that WMI required certain firewall ports opened on the server attempting to collect performance data and I decided to focus on one server only.
I made sure that the Domain Admin credentials have Local Administrator rights
I have taken the following steps on the server (2008R2):
1. Turned off Windows Firewall for Domain, Public, Private profile
2. Enables Remote Administration Exception
3. Ran WBEMTEST (Win Instrumentation Tester) tool from Windows 7 PC connecting to the 2008 R2 server and I was able to authenticate
After everything checked out, I pretty much ran out of options: PLEASE HELP!
Here are the exact steps I have taken to collect performance data in MAP 9.3 using the Performance Metrics Wizard
1. Selected "Windows-based machines"
2. Chose the server from the list
3. Entered the credentials (domain admin with local computer admin rights)
4. Credentials Order >> WMI Technology (domain\username)
5. Made sure Remote Registry services were started on the Windows 7 machine
6. Clicked "Finish" to start the performance data collection
7. Collection Status: FAILURE
... no idea what to do. Please help. I was unable to insert picture because my account is not verified. I have many screen shots that I can provide.
Thank you all. Much appreciated. I can also be reached at (917) 444-0911. Thank you again
