I need to query IIS information from "root\MicrosoftIISv2" namespace. Problem is this query only works with Authentication Level "Packet Privacy" Is there any way to mimic this with WMI and PRTG WQL ?

Thx :O(

iis microsoftiisv2 packet-privacy wmi

The name of the executable is "PRTG Probe.exe".

The authentication level the PRTG uses is not configurable, sorry.

Kind regards,

Hi Gerard, Thanx for good tip, however I'm already monitoring all these with custom SNMP sensor. What I'm interested in is stuff like web state (On/Off/Paused) and that I can find only in the root\MicrosoftIISv2 namespace for WMI.

thx

Can you access that namespace with a locally running WMI Tester? If so you could run a remote probe on that specific server, monitoring the counters you need.

Kind regards,

I'm having the same problem. What is the name of the executable that runs performs the WMI queries for PRTG and is the authentication level set or configurable? I am query the state of IIS application pools on a remote machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
