Problem adding WMI bandwidth sensor

Votes:

0

I receive the following error when attempting to add a bandwidth sensor to one of my servers.

Sorry, the scan for available monitoring items has failed!

Error Message:"80070005: Access is denied - Host: 10.1.0.9, User: Install2, Password: **, Domain: ntlmdomain:ctsit"

I have tried the network administrator acccount, three accounts with admin rights and the local machine administrator account. Firewall is disabled. RPC, SNMP,WMI and DCOM services are started. I've restarted the server.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
