SQL Server plug in and windows server 2008

Question

Windows Server 2008
SQL Server 2008
JDBC drivers 3.0
I am trying to setup Oracle Grid to monitor the SQL Server instances and ive resolved most of the issues execpt i keep getting the following error when testing connection to SQL server
Warning
Failed to contact the target to be added. Following errors were received while testing the connection to the target. Update the properties accordingly, try Test Connection for testing the properties before saving.
1. MSSQLDetermineName_DynamicProperty - em_error=Could not connect. Error code = 0x8004100e em_error=Failed while connecting to WMI.
2. Response - Missing Properties : [provided_sql_server_name]
Ive read about the code and it says add the Microsoft namespace to WMI but then it says it only applies to SQL Server 2000.
These are my jdbc settigs:
jdbc url: jdbc:sqlserver://<servername>:1433
jdbc driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
History:
i was getting other errors before regarding wrong version of SQL Server installed so i downloaded the JDBC 3.0 drivers and copied the 2 files:
sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbcr4.jar
to <oracle_agent_home>\sysman\admin\scripts\emx\microsoft_sqlserver_database
after this i got the current problems
I think it may be a permissions problem with WMI or something connected around it.

Please review the installation documentation at:

You will see that the sqljdbc_auth.dll needs to be copied only if you are using Windows Integrated Authentication on a 64 bit OS:
For the plug-in to establish connection to SQL Server instance using Windows Integrated Authentication mode, when deployed on a 64-bit (X64 or IA64) copy of Enterprise Manager Agent running on 64-bit Windows operating system, do the following:
Depending on the JVM version, copy the respective version of sqljdbc_auth.dll to the folder $AgentHome\sysman\jdbcdriver. If the directory does not exist, create it. The file sqljdbc_auth.dll is available as part of Type 4 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver version 1.2 (after unzipping, you will find three files with same name, that is, auth\x86\sqljdbc_auth.dll, auth\x64\sqljdbc_auth.dll, and auth\ia64\sqljdbc_auth.dll)
o
For X64 version of Enterprise Manager Agent installed on X64 (Xeon or AMD) Windows systems, copy the file auth\x64\sqljdbc_auth.dll to $AgentHome\sysman\jdbcdriver (the dll file should be copied directly under the folder specified. No sub-directories should be created.)
o
For IA64 version of Enterprise Manager Agent installed on IA64 Windows systems, copy the file auth\ia64\sqljdbc_auth.dll to $AgentHome\sysman\jdbcdriver
Note:
· No manual step needs to be performed when the plug-in is deployed on 32-bit copy of Enterprise Manager Agent (running on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows).
