As of uCMDB 9.03, CUP1, Host Resources and Applications discovery will fail if executed against Windows 2008 R2 nodes with the NTCMD protocol.
xCmd v1.01 for NT4/2000 – executes commands remotely

Connecting to remote service … Failed to start remote service
Couldn’t start remote service
Failed with error code:5
Access is denied.
Remote service executable is deleted.
To overcome this, a local administrator user needs to be created on each 2008 R2 host (admin privilege will not work). Create a OS user as built in user and set the registry as per below:
To disable UAC remote restrictions, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
- Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
- If the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry does not exist, follow these steps:
- On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
- Type LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then click Modify.
- In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
- Exit Registry Editor.
