This is correct. ZenWin and its friends perform Event Log
collection, Windows Service Modeling, and Windows Service
Monitoring. Other information on a windows box comes via SNMP.
Service discovery happens after a device is loaded (not during the
initial modeling process). It should happen about a minute after the
device model.

Windows provides that info via SNMP. The WMI poller currently only
gets event logs and services running as far as I can tell.

Please forgive my ignorance of Windows servers, but are you
suggesting that if you're using WMI then snmp isn't needed? I'm
trying to follow the directions at:

zenwin/
but I believe that still refers to Zenoss <v. 2 where the zenwin
had to be installed separately. I'm trying to translate it, but I
don't have it working yet.
I noticed the docs are incorrect on that part. I had one Windows
system which was discovered at one point which had SNMP enabled
(which
is not typical in my environment). Since it enumerated the installed
software, I'm assuming that data was gathered via WMI but I don't
know
whether it used the SNMP connection to do that or how it works.
All I
know is that other Windows systems which do not have SNMP enabled, so
far, don't have software (or any other data) populated except where
I've gotten portscan to work.
