[Zenoss-dev] wmic bug with multiple network interfaces

[RobbyCeyssens]

When wmic is called through a command template it enumerates the network interfaces and tries to connect to every ip addresss that is returned. When a server has multiple network interfaces and the management interface isn't listed first the request takes more then a minute and generates a command timeout event in Zenoss.

When you debug the wmic command you can see this clearly:
dcom_get_pipe: Trying stringbinding x.x.x.x[3276]

This bug causes the zenpack WindowsWMIDeviceTemplateV2 to fail retrieving the disk and memory statistics through wmi when the server has multiple network interfaces.
