Hi,
I am struggling still with which ports to open just for WMI Discovery/Inventory.
We have enabled Port 135 on all client servers, but only some clients are discovered and inventoried correctly. The majority return back as UNKNOWN.
We are using a Host Based FireWall (symantec) and the FW guys tell me that 135 is open (Which fits in with the information that some of the servers are discovered OK).
As an example a server which disallows the inventory is blocking on a combination of RemoteHostPort/Local ports of 30635/135 and at another time the same server blocks on the combination of 30360/135 or 62046/135 and so on.
So although we have port 135 open, it seems that there are many other ports that need to be opened as well. But I can't find doco on these extra ports.
Can someone pls help explain what may be going on?
What mistifies me is that some servers are dicovered/inventoried just fine, but they are in a minorty of ~40%.
Thx,
John Bradshaw
