Listing and notifying subscribers on managed target systems

The Windows NT connector can discover local services, scheduled tasks, DCOM objects, COM+ applications, IIS objects, and ODBC DSNs, referred to as subscribers. Subscribers are associated with a managed local or domain account, called a service account.

In order to list and notify subscribers from targets, the version should match the one on the instance server. For example, when targeting a Windows system, you can only list scheduled tasks with a version equal or lower than the instance server. Tasks configured for Windows 7 can be listed on an instance server with Windows 2008 R2, however, tasks configured for Windows 8 cannot be listed. You must install a proxy server on a system that contains the same version of the subscriber on the target system.

Make sure the Remote Registry service is started (On Windows workstations it is disabled by default, on Windows servers it is enabled by default).
