NT Services and WMI

Intermapper can monitor and send notifications for NT Services running on another computer. Intermapper uses the Service Control Manager facilities of the underlying Microsoft Windows host to communicate with a remote computer to track the state of its services.

NOTE:
  • You must be running the Intermapper server on a Microsoft Windows computer to use this capability.
  • The Intermapper server computer must be able to log onto the target Microsoft Windows computer as a service. For more information, see Authentication for NT Services Probe in the topic Monitoring NT Services with the Windows NT Services Probe.
  • If a command-line probe contains the NTCREDENTIALS flag, Intermapper runs the probe as the user specified here.

Use the NT Services panel of the Server Preferences section to set the User and Password for the machine. If you are running Intermapper server on a Microsoft Windows machine, Intermapper can build a list of services the machine is running.
