Start Citrix WMI service

Citrix.PresentationServer.StartWMIService.Rule (Rule)

Attempts to start the Citrix WMI service on unlicensed Citrix servers to determine if the server has been assigned a license

Knowledge Base article:

Citrix ® Management Pack

Summary

This rule checks unlicensed computers running Citrix Presentation Server every hour to determine whether the Citrix Presentation Server Provider is properly licensed or not. Once a server is properly licensed, the registry is updated and the Management Pack regards it as a managed server after the next computer scan.
