      Zabbix server was unable to collect data because Microsoft did some hardening for DCOM and this changes are now enabled by default.

      I have looked around the knowledge base and google search and nothing came up.  I wonder if you have encountered this already and created a KB article or patch somewhere. 

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. create external check script to use WMI to fetch info
      2. create item 
      3. attempt to fetch item data

      Sample WMI query:

      SELECT ProcessId, CommandLine FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name like '%java%' AND CommandLine like '%services=%'

      Result:

      WMI Query Failed

      ERROR: Login to remote object.\n\n\n STDERR:\nNTSTATUS: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED - Access denied\n",), <traceback object at 0x7fab79734688>)

      Expected:
      No more WMI query errors
