Configuring Insight Provider Security using the Windows Command Line

The following procedure provides access rights to allow a standard user account to view most management information. However, you must use an administrator account to perform some management tasks such as rebooting a server.

To configure a domain user or local user (non-administrator) account for remote management:

1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Change to the \Program Files\HPWBEM\Tools folder of the system drive.
3. Invoke the EnableRWMI.exe program to configure the account security for remote WMI access using one of the following options:
   • EnableRWMI -a:localuser
   • EnableRWMI -a:domain\user
