Hi and thanks for this amazing software.

As I have understood Hostmonitor does not support Terminal Services but in my case I really need that feature.

I have learned through this forum that you can use the service tab to add a user wich Hostmonitor uses when connecting to remote computers but I just can´t figure it out how to do this to gain sufficient permissions on remote computers unless you install Hostmonitor on a domain controller,what have I been overlooking?

Not exactly. On Service page in the Options dialog you can assign user account to impersonate the security context of the local user. You need to do this because interactive service uses local system account, using this account program will not be able to communicate with remote systems at all.
To connect to remote systems use "Connect as" field in the Test Properties dialog, this field available for "Process", "Service", "CPU Usage", "NT Event Log" tests.
