Configure the following fields to create a Windows credential:

 Name. Credential name.

 Domain\UserID. Enter the domain and user login to use with this credential. To monitor a
service on your devices, configure the Windows credential with the correct domain, user
name and password and a user account that belongs to the administrators group on the
remote machine. If a domain account is used, the expected user name format is  domain\
user. If the device is on a workgroup, there are two possible user names: workgroup name\
user or  machine name\user. In any case, the Domain\UserID must contain the backslash (\)
character.
