Quinn With your first answer I was able to get the Inventory issue resolve. I wa able to get the Satellite issue resolve by manually adding the port 8000 to the servers firewall rules.

Hi Chris —

WMI is not enabled for remote queries by default, which is unfortunate. We have an FAQ about enabling it here:

That is looking at a remote system. The PA FileSight is running on the server that is posting the Inventory Connector error. Also getting a Satellite not connected from the remote server. Still looking into that. Confirmed both servers have the correct security permissions in the WMA as outline in the how to article.
