PowerAdmin Firewall Ports

To enable the standard monitors in PowerAdmin Server Monitor to work, you need to enable the following rules on Windows Firewall:

Disk Space
File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)

Event Log
Remote Event Log Management (RPC)
Remote Event Log Management (RPC-EPMAP)

Performance Counters
Performance Logs and Alerts (TCP-In)

Ping
File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-In)

Services
Remote Service Management (RPC)
Remote Service Management (RPC-EPMAP)

Inventory Collection
Windows Management Instrumentation (DCOM-In)
COM+ Network Access (DCOM-In)

❗ Pro tip: If you suspect that the firewall is blocking PowerAdmin Server Monitor, turn the firewall off momentarily to see if it’s allowed. OK, not really a pro tip. More of a temporary security hole for bots, but might be find on some networks to do this.
