connection failure NTSTATUS: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED – Access denied

[Yashwanthkumar]

Hi all,

I am facing issue while discovering the server on cloudscape.
the server is a windows server and upon validating i am getting an error as

connection failure
NTSTATUS: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED –
Access denied

i am also unable to validate on wbemtest tool with the credentials which is tested over the appliance.

Thank you.

Hi,

The NTSTATUS: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED - Access denied indicates the account does not have the correct privileges to access the WMI classes on the remote host. Please find the below link to a Microsoft article that will detail the required permissions for enabling an account for remote WMI access:

UAC & WMI (Account Requirements)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/user-account-control-and-wmi

If WBEMTest is unable to validate the credential, this is further evidence that the credential does not have the required privileges to access the devices.

Please let me know if there are quesitons.

Thank you,
