When using WMI, you need to install Windows Discovery Service (WDS) and connect to your Remote Collectors (RCs) before setting up your Windows discovery job. For WDS installation instructions and information, visit the [Windows Discovery Service Installation](/getstarted/installation/windows-discovery-service-installation.mdx) documentation.

While it's best to use an admin account for complete discovery, you can try the following workaround to grant a non-admin user permission for service discovery.
402+
403+
Use the `sc.exe sdset scmanager` command to grant `SC_MANAGER_CONNECT` permission to the user:
404+
405+
- First, [find the SID](https://www.ninjaone.com/blog/how-to-find-user-security-identifier/) of the non-admin user account that you want to grant permission.
406+
407+
- Next, as an admin user, add the non-admin user's SID to the following command and execute it in PowerShell:
408+
409+
```bash
410+
sc.exe sdset scmanager "D:(A;;CC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCRPRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCRPRC;;;SU)(A;;CCLCRPWPRC;;;SY)(A;;KA;;;BA)(A;;CC;;;AC)(A;;CCLCRPRC;;;SID_OF_DISCOVERY_USER)"
411+
```
412+
413+
- Then try running the discovery process again as the non-admin user.

Relutech and Device42 have teamed up to ease migrations to AWS. Device42s deep discovery provides Relutech with the information required to price your on-premise physical assets for purchase and leaseback as well as third-party maintenance. Relutech then purchases those assets and provides them back to the customer on a leasing schedule. As you migrate those workloads to AWS, the workload is then rolled off of your lease thereby reducing your on-premises costs as you increase consumption in AWS.

The instructions below provide a recommended approach to capture your Physical (bare metal) server inventory.  Using Device42s Operating System-level discovery, you will be able to collect inventory data relating to each server targeted on the network. Subsequent SNMP scans against a BMC (e.g., iDRAC, HP iLO, etc) will augment the data collected from OS-level scanning by identifying management MAC’s and IP’s as well as discovering the parts installed on each targeted server. Please follow the steps below to create and execute these inventory jobs.

3. **Warranty** - Depending on the vendor, these particular jobs will retrieve service contracts associated with each server from the vendor system.
