Hmm, I have the same kind of event-behaviour with a server, not belonging to the windows domain (but inheriting the domain credentials zProperties within zenoss) complaining about connection errors with WMI. Indeed the domain credentials don't work on that server.
So I changed the local zProperties with the right credentials. A wmic test was succesfull and a remodel of the server, gave me the list of winservices in the OS tab. But the state of the winservices is all green (while some are effectively down). And I keep getting the event about the WMI connection problem errors.
I tried everything, but I keep getting the WMI connection errors event.

Only after a full restart of ZenOss, I finaly start getting the actual state of the winservices, and the event doesn't come back.. It would probably also be fixed if I waited for a number of hours...?

Got this fix from rmatte in #zenoss on freenode:

If you have a distributed environment (multiple collectors + master) then you might try updating the collector for the server.

• Go to 'Collectors' under your 'Management' section of the left-hand navigation
• click on the collector for your server
• select 'Update Collector...' from the drop-down tab on the resulting page

Alternatively, if you have a single server, you may need to restart zenwin (as the zenoss user, of course):

zenoss_server>  zenwin restart

Hope this helps!
