User permissions for remote event watcher

[mikael.lindsten@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I posted this in the WMI newsgroup, but there's not much action there!
Perhaps I can find some help here...

I have a simple little Windows service that retrieves events from a
remote computer through WMI and a ManagementEventWatcher.

It all works just fine... as long as the user I specify in my
ConnectionOptions (see below) is an administrator of the remote
computer. My problem is that (for security reasons) I cannot use an
administrator account. I have created a clean account, currently with
no permissions on the remote computer. Now I want to add just the
permissions needed for my service to work, but I can't find anywhere
what permissions that is!

Please enlighten me!

This is the essentials of the service:

ConnectionOptions connection = new ConnectionOptions()
connection.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate
connection.Username = "NotAnAdminUser"
connection.Password = "LetMeIn"

ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@"\\remotecomputer\root
\cimv2", connection)
scope.Connect()

string query = "SELECT TargetInstance FROM __InstanceCreationEvent
WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_NTLogEvent'"
ManagementEventWatcher watcher = new ManagementEventWatcher(scope, new
EventQuery(query))
watcher.EventArrived += new
EventArrivedEventHandler(watcher_EventArrived)
watcher.Start()

(currently I get to scope.Connect() where I run into an
UnauthorizedAccessException)
