Using a test script to query WMI objects

The Test feature located in the Discovery Center under the Centralized Management UI is not supported for the SolutionPack for Microsoft Hyper-V. Instead, use the test method presented in this topic.

The SolutionPack for Microsoft Hyper-V provides a script that can be used to check if is possible to query all required WMI objects using the provided user. The script is in the folder <APG_FOLDER>/Collecting/XML-Collector/<SolutionPack_instance_name>/conf/. You must execute the script from the Collect SolutionPack Block machine. Use the following syntax to run the script:

TestWMI.ps1 -Computer <ip-or-hostname> 
          -Username <domain-or-machine\username>
          -Password <password> [-NoPing]

-Computer

Remote Hyper-V host IP address or hostname

-Username

Username used to perform remote WMI queries, in the format DOMAIN\username for domain users or MACHINE\username for local users

-Password

Password of the user specified with the -Username parameter

-NoPing

(optional) If the remote Hyper-V host is blocking ping requests, you must use this parameter to skip connectivity tests
