I only need to run it on 6 servers, at this time. It should be able to monitor various services and running apps. (The issue was prompted because the print spooler on one of our application servers stopped. This caused a doctor's orders to our Rehab Dept to not print out. He was not amused.) Right now I'm trying our Event Sentry but it's a bit clunky and hard to configure. (Perhaps trying to do too much.) I'm also looking at Solar Winds product and GFI's product. _____ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage! Don’t worry about storage limits.
