Hi Konstantin,

This article said "Domain Admin", but it is very dificult to negotiate with customer, because it is a powerfull user. There is another way to create that user? Maybe know exactly what that user needs?

Thanks and regards,

Natasha Cunha.

Hi Natasha,
basically the user used for monitoring has to have permissions to access WMI counters to read them. You might try going through the WMI permission setup but we strongly recommend not doing this as there is the possibility to mess up the whole WMI subsystem with that.
Best regards
