1 Introduction This document applies to the HP Insight Management Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Providers for Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows Server® 2008 SP2 on Integrity servers, version 7.1.0.0 (Insight Providers). This release of the Insight Providers supports Integrity servers running Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows Server® 2008 SP2. For information regarding supported servers, options, and operating system versions, see Chapter 6 (page 21).
2 Security Security is a major concern and one of the primary reasons to switch from SNMP Agent-based server management to Insight Provider-based server management. The HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows use Windows-based authentication for local and remote access to server management data. Implementation The Insight Providers for Windows are implemented as a set of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers.

3 Microsoft Windows Server™ 2008 Firewall configuration This section describes a configuration method for enabling direct remote WMI access on a server running the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Firewall. These configuration steps were derived from testing on RC1 of Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and so might not apply to the latest version of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Firewall. There are many methods to establish remote communication with WMI.
If the Windows Firewall has either of these already enabled, this latter command does not affect a change, and only first command is necessary. You can create similar rules that are more restrictive, but that allow remote WMI access in specific circumstances (such as restricting which users, computers, and network addresses can remotely access), depending on the details of your setup.

Additional documentation In addition to this User Guide, the following Insight Provider documentation is available at http:// www.hp.com/go/hpwbem: • Profiles — A separate document exists for each HP profile extension. • Provider Data Sheet, HP Insight Management WBEM Provider Data Sheet for Integrity Servers.pdf —This document describes indication details and class implementations not defined in an MOF or profile.
5 Scripting examples This section provides examples for accessing data exposed by the Insight Providers using scripting. Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition examples You can write scripts to obtain data from the Insight Providers using Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or any other scripting language that supports Microsoft ActiveX. This section shows examples for accessing Insight Provider data using VBScript code.
Example 1 Displaying computer operational status information strComputer = "." strNamespace = "\root\hpq" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & strNamespace) Set colComputerSystem = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from HP_WinComputerSystem") For Each objComputerSystem in colComputerSystem WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objComputerSystem.Caption For Each objStatusDescription in objComputerSystem.StatusDescriptions WScript.
Example 4 Listing system memory modules and their capacities strComputer = "." strNamespace = "\root\hpq" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & strNamespace) Set colMemoryModule = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from HP_MemoryModule") For Each objMemoryModule in colMemoryModule WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objMemoryModule.Caption WScript.Echo "Capacity (bytes): " & objMemoryModule.Capacity Wscript.
