Scanning another domain/workgroup

[ianternet]

I have the premium version and am trying to scan another domain/workgroup

I've set up the domain and domain credentials within Active Scanning and I have set the appropriate details in the IP Range Scanning including the domain 1/2 details, ie workgroup details of these machines as well as snmp community names.

Initiated the scan and on my firewall have opened the snmp port which means I am receiving device information.

Which other firewall ports are recommended to be opened to gather Windows PC information....I've noticed in the firewall that there are a lot blocked requests for a number of ports, eg 25 smtp 445 etc. I don't need to open smtp as I know there are no smtp servers etc.

Cheers

Ok, I think the problems are more WMI/RPC issues that I need to resolve first.

Test connection gives the usual dreaded problems:-

DNS test
-----------------------------------------------
Is this the correct remote IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If not, please check for DNS problems

\root\cimv2 Remote WMI access test FAILED
The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Remote WMI test
-----------------------------------------------
\root\cimv2 Remote WMI access test FAILED
The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Remote Registry test using WMI
-----------------------------------------------
\root\default Remote WMI access test FAILED
The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

So I've completely disabled the firewall to rule out any issues in the client (the above run from server on different subnet - will this report ok if any issues on subnet firewall)?

Have set the dcomcnfg firstly to administrators full access and then everyone.

Have specified the local administrator and password, still no joy.

So what next?

A bit stumped at the moment.
