AdvisorDo you need your collector to be running with the service accounts? I'd suggest switching them to run as system and then just control wmi.user and wmi.pass on each dynamic group.
I'd create a report that includes all of the Windows devices and add properties to the report for wmi.user and wmi.pass. Also include the collector properties - system.prefcollectorid, system.prefcollectordesc. This will at least let you see where the creds are set.
That's how the collectors installed themselves, that wasn't a choice we made. What else is that runas account used for and what would stop working if we changed it to System?
I don't think we knew you could create reports. How does one go about that?
