Fresh install on Core 4.2.5, trying to model a Windows 2012 Cluster running SQL Server 2012. With the ZenPacks included in the install, the system got modeled after configuring WinRM on the server. However, it never added my disks added to mount points, nor did it ever collect any performance data. I tried a number of things, but none of them seemed to work. As a final step, I upgraded both the Windows ZenPack and the Python Collector ZenPack. Now the system won't model at all, I tried deleting and readding just to make sure, but no dice. The errors I'm seeing when attempting to model the device are:

I'm using a domain user, and I can get a valid Kerberos ticket using the zWinRMUser/zWinRMPassword. I've tried with and without zPythonClass set to ZenPacks.zenoss.Microsoft.Windows.Device, and I've tried the hostname in upper and lower case in zWinRMServerName, as well as the IP address.

I'm assuming you set the GPOs as specified in the instructions to enable WinRM And you used domanuser@domain.example.local for the username

I had enabled WinRM on the device locally, and my user is username@DOMAIN.LOCAL. I had setup a different Class in the Organizer (I'm trying to mirror an old install to make my POC testing as simple as possible) and put the server in there. I moved it into /Devices/Microsoft/Cluster, and reset all the zWin options, and it modeled correctly. Thanks for kicking me back to the documentation, I hate it when I miss stuff like that.

Now, I have to figure out why the Cluster Modeler Plugin chokes on the Cluster-Aware Updating user, and why I'm not seeing any of my SAN disks that are mounted to NTFS directories.
