I had some troubles too when I started with SA (version 7) on Win2008R2 recently, until I changed my way of working.
This is how I do it now : - Run SA as a service o with credentials of a local administrator (a service account) on the machines I want to monitor. o that process does the checks. - For editing the check list I start SA interactively o with parameter /guionly ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Woodstone\Servers Alive\serversalive.exe" /guionly) o run it on the SA server o use my own credentials (also local admin) o after each change I have to save the entries file and stop/start the service If I don't us the /guionly switch, both processes (service and interactive) use the same entries files, which leads to corruption of that file. I do not use the Remote Icon. I'm not suggesting that the Remote Icon is a bad thing though (actually I never tested it - yet), but the method described above works fine for me.

The remote icon however keeps disconnecting. I have the remote icon running against the localhost. Is there some sort of log or something that I can check to see why it keeps getting disconnected?
