Cross Domain Monitoring?

[NickC]

Ive recently got Cacti all setup and working fine on Windows for the basics using just SNMP and this will happily get me most of the stats I need, however one of the big things I want to graph and monitor is the number if users logged in on our terminal servers.

The problem here is that the servers in question are located in a different domain to where the cacti install is and since all the scripts I have seen so far rely on the user running the scheduled task that polls servers and runs scripts needs to have permissions on the target computer.

Does anyone know of a script that can pull an accurate reading for the number of logged on users and do so either without needing permissions (maybe via a working SNMP query?), or know of a script that will perform WMI querys and allow you to specify a username and password to use in a config file?

Why not enable domain trusts? Easy solution

Otherwise, look through the Microsoft Script Center on how to set up WMI scripts to do user impersonation.
