Note: If you use a local user account that is added to the administrator group, you
need to explicitly grant permissions in the WMI section.
To add your monitor account to the local administrator group of a Windows
Server 2008 computer:
1. Log on to the computer you want to monitor with an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools>Computer
Management> Local Users and Groups> Groups. Switch to the Classic
View of the Control Panel to use this navigation path.
3. Right-click Administrators, and then click Add to group.
4. If the account you want to use is not currently a member of this group,
complete the following procedure:
a. Click Add on the Administrators Properties window.
b. Type the name of the account you want to use to gather WMI statistics,
and then click OK. This is the account you specify in the credentials
section.
Note: If you add an account to a workgroup computer, you cannot add
a domain account. You must use a local account.
5. Click OK on the Administrators Properties window, and then close the
Computer Management window.

established.
To enable the RPC service:
1. Log on to the target server with an administrator account.
2. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press enter.
3. Scroll the list to Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
