WMI cannot be accessed on SQL Server

bbrown

Today I changed the login account running our SQL Server service. The old account had domain admin rights (I know - bad). The new one has only the rights assigned by "SSCM". Since then I can't connect with RTC. As a troubleshooting step, I ran the "Best Practices Analyzer" and it returns the error "WMI cannot be accessed on SQL Server".

I'm working my way thru the help about that error. If anyoen has had a similar issue, any "pointing me in the right direction" would be appreciated.

SQL and the service tiers are on different computers.

(The windows firewall is not on)

I think that the problem is, that account, under which you are running the tool, have not enough permissions to read all what is needed.

The account I am running with is a domain admin.

All set here. I stepped away for a while. This morning I started fresh and worked my way thru the "Setting Up Delegation" steps again. Everything works fine now. Not sure where I was going wrong, but obviously I was missing something or doing something wrong.

As they say. RTFM.
