I am trying to monitor my Hyper-V clusters via WMI with PRTG. This worked with IP Network Host Monitor for querying root\MSCluster, but not for PRTG WMITool.exe, which return the error:
80041003: The current user does not have permission to perform the action. 

You can consider this which we found:

  • UAC blocks some (not all) WMI counters, resulting in error 80041003: The current user does not have permission to perform the action. . You can add the following registry key to disable this feature of UAC.
    Path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Add a new DWORD value:
    Name: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
    Value: 1
    • Note: This disables some of the protection provided by UAC. Specifically, any remote access to the server using an administrator security token is automatically elevated with full administrator rights, including access to the root folder.
