Dirk, I didn't have a choice of what OS I wanted to use for this latest Servers Alive installation as this is controlled by company policy and Windows 2008 Server is now the preferred Server OS.
I have found the dialogue after you have pointed out that it pops up behind other dialogues, and have been able to change the required configurations, I can live with this as long as it works. Is there a list of known issues with Windows 2008 Server that I can take a look at to see if any of these are likely to cause me any issues? I have checked your website but can't see anything obvious. Has there been a discussion thread that I have missed? Will Windows 2008 Server be supported in future?

About the fileproperties issue, that's a known thing caused by the OS too. For some reason the GUI is in fact visible but hidden behind the Servers Alive screen. With the latest add-on version we force it to be infront of SA :-) -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:salive@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Carroll, Andrew Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 1:01 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] FileProperties Configuration problem Dirk, The comfileproperties.dll reports a version of 2.0.0.49, this is the same version that was working on the older installation, as I have all these installation version from when the old system was implemented. I have not previously updated the version of Servers Alive as on the old (dead) Windows XP Pro SP3 installation was working fine. Should I really be upgrading to the latest version of Servers Alive now that I have had to move onto the Windows 2008 Server platform?

What version of the COM check are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:salive@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Carroll, Andrew Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 12:31 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] FileProperties Configuration problem Servers Alive Discussion List, I have had to move my Servers Alive implementation from a Windows XP Pro SP3 workstation to a Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit) platform due to the failure of the hardware on the workstation. I was able to recover my hostfile and the registry and group settings from the old system and implement these on the new system after a standard install, and all appears to working OK. I have however spotted an issue with an External COM check, where I am not able to Configure the external check parameters. A number of my checks use the External COM check "FileProperties Check" and it seems that I am unable to use the Configure option at the moment. Does anyone have any clues why this is not working under Windows 2008 Server SP1 when it worked fine under Windows XP Pro SP3.
