If you want to be able to include details about servers in your SharePoint farm in the SharePoint Summary report, the ControlPoint Service account must have permissions to request status information from each server that you want to include.
NOTE: Because the reporting of server details is a time-consuming process, it is an optional parameter in the SharePoint Summary Report user interface.
To ensure that the ControlPoint Service account has permissions to request server information, verify that:
·the ControlPoint Service account is a member of the local Administrators group on the target server
·the local Administrators group has "Remote Enable" Permissions for WMI on the target server
·remote WMI requests can be made on the target server.
Ensuring the Local Administrators Group has Remote Enable Permissions for WMI
NOTE: Remote Enable permissions is granted to the Local Administrators group by default.
1From the server whose statistics you want to display, choose All Program > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
2Expand the Services and Applications node.
3Select WMI Control, right-click, and choose Properties.
4Click the Security tab.
5Click [Security].
6Make sure Remote Enable is allowed for the local Administrators group.
7If the target server is running Windows Firewall (a.k.a Internet Connection Firewall), run the following from the command prompt to allow remote WMI requests:
netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable
