There are 3 ways to setup a user for the GoToManage Crawler to use.
This one uses the least possible permissions, but, it’s the most difficult to setup.

Please watch the video for two main steps:

1) Set DCOM permissions using a GPO (Group Policy)
2) set WMI permissions using a script (startup or logon)

Also Included below is a program that will help you build the script.

Click here to see the video

Click her to download ‘Build-script-WMI-permissions.exe’

I hope you like it!

Mike, the vimeo link is incorrect, I believe.

My search on Vimeo for GoToManage only turned up four videos, none of them the correct one. Possibly its not showing up quite yet if you just uploaded it so I will check back later.

I receive the following error after running the script after the first window indicating the steps to perform when it appears to be opening the WMIMgmt.msc. If i open the WMIMgmt.msc manually i receive no issues or errors. It appears only when running the WMI-Build-script-WMI-permissions executable. Any suggstions would be appreciated. Thanks
