Is the user account you're using within the device' Windows Credential section having administrative credentials on the target appliance? That's necessary to properly read the services.

This usually stems from incorrect group memberships. Please configure as disclosed in My WMI Sensors don't work, what can I do?, they should work afterwards if configured properly. Please ensure that no firewall or antivirus application is blocking access to the server on either side.
