Provided user account cannot query WMI

Follow the steps below if you receive the error message:

'Provided user account cannot query WMI. Check the provided account has “Read Security” level of access to WMI on the target machine. SQL Monitor is unable to monitor without access to WMI.'

Check the required permissions: Permissions required for monitoring servers

If the monitoring account is not an administrator account on the monitored server, follow the instructions here: 'Monitoring host Windows machines without admin permissions' from the link above.

You can then test WMI: What to try if you hit connection problems
