Well Folks, I am finally able to monitor NT Services. I originally had WhatsUP Gold installed on a Win2K Pro box, but I removed it and placed it on an NT Box. This newly installed configuration appears to be working as advertised. When I get a chance I will look into the problem that I was having with the Win2K Pro Box and let you know where the problem occurred. For now I will just continue testing WUG. Thanks to everyone who provided assistance in this regard. You were all quite responsive. That is another plus in favor of WUG-this forum is ok.
Hope this helps, Andrew Brathwaite Information Systems Department Office: (718) 636-1000 x412 Beeper: (917) 356-7487 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Matt Wasserman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 8:10 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring NT Services Set up local admin accounts on all the boxes with identical user names and passwords.

It must have administrative rights to the REMOTE machine. > Is the username and password the same on both? That's one way to achieve it, particularly if you are not running in a Windows domain, or the target host is in a different domain than you are. You have WUG run under an account name and password that happens to match an administrator-equivalent account name and password at the target. > Is the remote machine in a domain? Is the WUG machine in a domain? Either can be or not. If both are in the same domain, the whole thing is easier because you can run WUG under any account that is in the "Domain Admins" group. By default, any machine in a domain allows users in the Domain Admin group to also administrate that machine. If both are not, or one is and one isn't, then you probably are going to have to use the "same username, same password" trick. Hope that helps. --Tim Farley IPSWITCH Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
