Unable to receive WMI Queries from Namespace "Root\SecurityCenter" after upgrade to F-Secure Server Security 14.00 (Solarwind) - F-Secure Community
<main> <article class="userContent"> <h3 data-version="4" data-article="000019431">Issue:</h3> <p>Solarwind script unable to receive WMI Queries from Namespace "root\SecurityCenter" or "root\SecurityCenter2" after upgrading from F-Secure Server Security 12.xx to 14.xx. With F-Secure Server Security 12.xx the queries work.<br><br> </p> <h3>Resolution:</h3> <p></p><ul><li>The namespace "root\SecurityCenter" is available on Windows client systems of version Windows XP and below.</li><li>The namespace "root\SecurityCenter*2*" is available starting from Windows Vista and above.</li><li>Neither "root\SecurityCenter" nor "root\SecurityCenter*2*" is available on Windows server systems.</li><li>Both namespaces belong to Microsoft and are not documented by them. That means no one can reliably use (read/write to) them except Microsoft's products.</li><li>F-Secure products never read or write to "root\SecurityCenter" or "root\SecurityCenter*2*" directly and thus don't guarantee anything about the contents of these namespaces. The F-Secure product register itself in the system and Windows client (not server) systems reflect this information in "root\SecurityCenter" and "root\SecurityCenter*2*" (depending on Windows version) namespace.</li><li>Why F-Secure Server Security is available via "root\SecurityCenter" then? This happens because a third-party product (Solarwinds client) creates and fills this namespace on Windows server systems. </li></ul><div>To resolve the issue: </div> <ul><li>Use the namespace "root\fsecure". The namespace belongs to F-Secure and therefore is supported by F-Secure. F-Secure is unable to make guarantees when using other namespace to run WMI queries on F-Secure products.</li></ul><div> </div><br><br><div> </div> <p>Article no: 000019431</p> </article> </main>
