In most cases, we use Domain Admin account for any WMI sensor. Is there a way to set individual account only for PRTG WMI access WITHOUT Domain or Local Administrative Rights?
The permissions required for WMI haven't changed that much.
You could use a non-administrative user and WMI should work properly - apart from WMI Service Sensors, which do require either administrative permissions or ACLs configured accordingly. Carbon is very nice for this:
Grant-ServicePermission -Name <service name> -Identity "<domain>\<user>" -QueryStatus -Interrogate -Start -Stop
Note that this has to be configured on a per-service base and may require some tinkering. Eventually, this will just allow you to use non-administrative user accounts, which might be a necessity for some.
