Cannot monitoring HP thin client H5740 by WMI

Votes:

0

Hi,

My company using HP thin client H5740 and found cannot monitor them by PRTG WMI sensors. They mainly show 2 kinds of errors:

1. 80041010: The specified class is not valid.- Note: the OS version of the device could not be determined, WMI might not work reliably.

2. 80041013: COM cannot locate a provider referenced in the schema. This error may be caused by any of the following:The provider is using a WMI DLL that does not match the .lib file used when the provider was built.The provider's DLL, or any of the DLLs on which it depends, is corrupt.The provider failed to export DllRegisterServer.An in-process provider was not registered using the regsvr32 command.An out-of-process provider was not registered using the /regserver switch. For example, myprog.exe /regserver.- Note: the OS version of the device could not be determined, WMI might not work reliably.

I try the method showed in error message "2" but still error. Also, for same sensor (say CPU), some thin clients showed error message "1" but some thin client showed error message "2"

How can I fixed they to monitoring HP thin client? Thanks.

It looks like you will need to install extra software on the thin client in order to get WMI working since this is not part of the embedded OS. You can also use SNMP if that is on the system.
