I was told that this would be fixed in 2.2.0, but I haven't heard anything about it since that time.  I would really like to get a status update on this as well, but I get the feeling people are tired of hearing from me about it. ;-)

bdearlove, you might want to take a look at the script I posted earlier in the thread and see if it is something you can work with.  It has been in place on my server for a while now.  The only time it fubars is when a server constantly errors out, because the script will kill zenwinmodeler and restart it, and zenwinmodeler will dutifully start modelling all the servers again, get to the same server it errored on last time, error out, get killed, get restarted...you get the idea.  This doesn't happen very often, though.

Also take a look at any firewalls and network ACLs that may be preventing the zenoss server from contacting your Windows servers on tcp port 135 *and* the dynamically-assigned high-port for WBEM.  If you're using the Windows Firewall, you can enable the REMOTEADMIN exception to take care of this for you by using the following command:

Code:
netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable custom subnet/subnetmask


(That command does pretty much the exact same thing as I talk about in my previous post, by the way...it's just a lot more concise)

I hope this helps!
