In NMIS version 8.6.0 we've added support for collecting data from Windows systems using the Windows Management Instrumentation infrastructure (or WMI for short WMI). As of NMIS9 support for domains has been enhanced to make it easier to configure.
This page describes how to approach modelling devices for WMI, and where WMI modelling differs from modelling for SNMP.
...
If the node in question requires a windows domain for the WMI access, then In NMIS 8 prepend that to the wmiusername followed by a "/", e.g. "somedomain/theuser".
In In NMIS 8.6.7 and newer you can also provide the domain in the form "theuser@somedomain".
In NMIS9, in addition to the NMIS8 syntax, there is a dedicated 'WMI Domain' field to make configuration easier.
Automatic model selection does include WMI as a source of information, if SNMP is not available and if wmiusername and wmipassword are set. Automatic Model selection in NMIS uses the device property "sysDescr" (an SNMP property) for WMI only devices the sysDescr is auto created from the WMI received variables "winosname" and "winversion" e.g getNodeInfo, winosname=Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter winversion=10.0.14393 this string is then interpreted to sysDescr as Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Windows Version 10.0.14393.
