You may get this error when you add WMI sensor on Paessler PRTG Monitor.

Probably there is a firewall between servers or target server is behind the NAT. Solution is modifying “hosts” file of Windows.

Modify “hosts” and type like “10.10.10.10 %hostname%”. Hostname is the computername of Windows machine.

You can find your hosts file under:

Now type your server’s hostname and ip address in it, then save.

After that, you can test results with WBEMTEST tool on Windows.

1. First, execute “WBEMTEST” on CMD.

2. Click “Connect” and type server information.

If you don’t see any problem, then it means you solved the problem.
