APPENDIX D: SETTING UP WMI ON TARGET MACHINES 131
Note: Using Windows 98/ME, XP Home, or any NT 4.0 system is not recommended or supported
as a proxy system. Additionally, although Servers are supported, it is not advisable to utilize them
as your proxy due to error logging issues.
To enable a Windows proxy system for the CC-NOC, Raritan provides a binary that can be
downloaded and run. The binary tweaks the registry to enable remote communications with the
WMI scripting system on the local box.
Running the binary with
–u option reverses the changes to the system. Below is the detailed list of
changes to the system registry. It as strongly advised that you NEVER modify the registry without
serious consideration to the ill effects it can have. User modifications to the Windows registry can
result in unstable and/or unusable systems.
Registry Changes [configuration]:
This is a list of the changes that will be made to the system registry by the binary provided by
Raritan.
