I have the same error on Zenoss Version 2.3.2

wmic -U Administrator%xxx //192.168.200.160 "select * from Win32_ComputerSystem"
work.
Any hints?

After racking my head on this for a long time this is the answer:

The problem is that if a machine only exsists as part of just a workgroup and not a domain this ForceGuest settings rules.
Esentially,
On Windows XP, the ForceGuest registry value is set to 1 by default in the following registry key:

I must have tried everything in this thread, but I still can't get it to work properly. I keep on getting:
Could not read the Windows event log (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED). Check your username/password settings ...
I've tried:
wmic -U Administrator%Password //192.168.xx.xx "select * from Win32_ComputerSystem"
... and that works fine.
I've set zProperties to:
zWinUser: .\Administrator
zWinPassword: Password
Is there a step-by-step guide for monitoring Windows machines somewhere?
The machines I'm monitoring are in a workgroup, not in a domain.
Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Two things to resolve this error for a workgroup server
the zWinUser account you use in zpropertires needs to be created locally on the server, and then you need to put that local user in the local Distrubuted COM user group (& performace monitors). Either that or run dcomcnfg and give that local user access via COM secuirity tab on the properties of my computer.
Hope it helps

Everyone in here seems to be using local accounts.
I remember having to put a ./ in front of local accounts back when I was using 2.3.3 and I believe it's still required.
Try ./Administrator, or ./zenossadmin or whatever as your zWinUser and see if it makes a difference.
Hey, not everyone. I use Domain accounts!

So I can do wmic -u from the command line and get the proper response, but the same server has trouble with zeneventlog in the gui.

The username/pw is fine. Works on 90% of my windows servers. Does not seem to be OS based. If it works via command line but not gui, where can we get the exact command the gui runs? perhaps the problem lies there?
It has to be some sort of permissions issue. I've had windows event log monitoring working fine in Zenoss. Is the account that you're using an administrator account?
It’s a domain admin.
