The Remote Monitoring AIM accesses an RM system through a WMI connection to the root\CIMV2 namespace utilizing DCOM. DCOM requires local system administrator user and password credentials. If you want to monitor a Windows computer, you must provide these credentials which the RM AIM stores in a file. The password is encrypted.
Remote Monitoring collects and provides Windows system information (Win32_ComputerSystem) performing WMI queries (port 135) on the monitored RM systems. WMI uses port 135 (default).
The following diagram illustrates these relationships.
