**[Help Needed] Remote Windows Host Monitoring 2.0.0 – ActiveGate not meeting WMI requirements**

Hi community,

I'm trying to activate the **Remote Windows Host Monitoring 2.0.0** extension, but when selecting an ActiveGate group I'm getting the following warning on the "default" group (0/2 ActiveGates available):

> *"There are no ActiveGates in this group capable of executing the extension. The extension won't work until at least one ActiveGate fulfills the requirements."*
> - Not supported DataSources. **Expected wmi (x2)**

**Environment details:**
- Both ActiveGates in the "default" group are installed on **Linux hosts**.
- The target servers are **Windows Server 2012 R2**, and **OneAgent cannot be installed on them** (unsupported/restricted environment).

**My questions:**
1. Is WMI datasource support exclusive to ActiveGates installed on **Windows**? That would explain why neither of my Linux-based ActiveGates qualifies.
2. What is the recommended approach to monitor **Windows Server 2012 R2 hosts** when OneAgent cannot be installed and the only available ActiveGates are on Linux?
3. Is there any workaround or alternative extension/method to reach these servers remotely without a Windows-based ActiveGate?
4. If a Windows ActiveGate is required, are there any minimum version or configuration requirements we should be aware of?

Any guidance or documentation pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
