Manage client WMI connectivity

Patch Manager installs SolarWinds Client Components whenever a connection is first established to any machine.

Initially, it uses the WMI Providers if you prefer not to use a Patch Manager agent. If you decide to use a Patch Manager agent, it communicates to Patch Manager through port 4092.

The following sections provide information about implementing WMI Providers in your environment:

• WMI requirements
• WMI Providers security and permissions
