now that zenoss has gone the direction of kerberos based windows Remote Monitoring, how would someone monitor a server that is not a domain member server and as such has no kerberos SPN

our network has three DMZ's at various locations and the servers within the the DMZ s are not domain members, and per M$ standards, nor should they be.

Thanks,

For now, what i understand you must do:

Individual Machine configuration:
Open ports 5985 (http)/5986(https) for WinRM
winrm quickconfig
winrm s winrm/config/service @{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="4294967295"}
winrm s winrm/config/winrs @{MaxShellsPerUser="2147483647"}
winrm s winrm/config/winrs @{IdleTimeout="7200000"}

Basic Authentication (Windows default is Kerberos see note below for more information):
winrm s winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
winrm s winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}

You are forced yo enable Basic, and use local users.

Thank you for the advice. it works great. I was also able to use this method to get around the pesky problem i'm having with Kerberos after changing a computers name or using an Ip address that zenoss has seen before.
