Configure WMI for nonadministrator accounts

If the Windows user account running the ArcGIS Monitor Service <Name> service is not a member of the Administrator group on the remote machine, the account must be added to the Performance Monitor Users group and the Distributed COM Users group to collect metrics. Perform the following steps to add the account to the groups and configure Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):

1. Do one of the following to add the account to the Performance Monitor Users group and the Distributed COM Users group:

   Windows 8.1 and Windows 10	Run lusrmgr.msc to add the user to the user groups.
   Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016	Refer to the Microsoft documentation to add the user to the user groups.

2. Log in to the remote machine that you want to monitor with an administrator account.
3. Run wmimgmt.msc to configure WMI control permissions.
