Getting error "Collection 'Open Sessions' failed: WMI query "Win32_ServerSession" failed: Access denied.[0x80041003]"
This is a known issue when configuring WMI with minimum required permissions.
Spotlight requires authentication to connect to the Windows server and retrieve performance data. There are two ways to do this at Windows Server | Connection Details: use Diagnostic Server credentials or fill in the user and password fields. If you choose to fill in the user and password fields, the account must have the privileges required to retrieve server information, query the registry, and access WMI and performance monitor objects. An account with administrative rights to the Windows server allows this.
In some environments it may not be feasible to connect to the Windows server with an account that is a member of the Administrators group. The Deployment Guide provides instructions to configure WMI with minimum required user permissions for these environments.
The error here is a known issue when using this procedure.
For more information please refer How to configure WMI with minimum required user permissions in the Deployment Guide.
The solution is to use an account with administrative rights to the Windows server.
