Can MAP be used on DMZ machines?
Can MAP be used on DMZ machines?
- Hi,
I am trying to run the performance collection on machines in the DMZ.
The FW (CheckPOint) was opened between the MAP machine ( a Vista sp1) and the server in question.
I provide the correct credentials but it seems that no performance counters are being collected.
In the WMI section of the status window it seems that WMI is successfully inventoried but the report is empty.
Naturally, the servers in the DMZ are not in the AD domain.
This is happening at a customer's site, he wishes to virtualize his DMZ servers...
Is this setup possible? What should I do to enable it?
Any help will be apprecieated

- Eran,
When you say "the report was empty", did the report contain information about the machines (like number of processors, processor speed, etc.), but did not have any performance data (% idle time, etc)?
Or was the report completely empty (no machines listed at all)?
It should be possible to do this if all of the appropriate ports are open as discussed in our Getting Started Guide. One thing to keep in mind, in order to successfully collect performance data, it's necessary to make sure the machine running MAPS is part of the same AD forest as the machines you're collecting the data from. (this is not true for the inventory-only scenarios, only true for perf metrics gathering).
Thanks,
Jay
