Configure Wmi Windows Server 2008

Posted on 01.09.2019

My SMTP mail server requires that email be sent with TLS encryption and on port 587. This makes it problematic for Team Foundation Server (TFS) to send emails directly. To work around the problem, I installed the Windows 2008 SMTP Server service and configured it for relaying to my real SMTP mail server.

Allow Remote WMI connection in Windows Servers 2008 R2 I wanna a C# program to get disk space of a remote server whose OS is Windows Server 2008 R2. The program and the server are under different domains. I use server's domain account to authenticate the connection. Enable 'remote enable' in WMI Control Properties.

To begin, launch Server Manager and add the SMTP Server feature.

This includes a dialog to add some additional items.

Click Add Required Features and, after the dialog closes, click Next > followed by Install.

The same can be done from the command line using:

Configuring the SMTP Service to Auto-Start

Unfortunately, the service is not configured to auto-start by default so you need to go into the services to change this:

To perform the same action from the command line use the following PowerShell commands:
