can't monitor simple windows agent disk check from master
hello guys

i’ve been trying to set up a simple disk check on a remote windows agent for 3 days, without any luck.

i’m undoubtedly doing something wrong, but after reading the docs at least 5 times i can’t figure it out.

so our setup is simple now: we have one master called “nicklink-mon.nicklink.…
strangely enough it did in a strange way. i reinstalled, set up everything again from scratch (agents too) and got the same ‘not connected’ error.

i got frustrated and left it overnight.

the following morning in the office i checked and it discovered both services!

so i guess you could close this…
network monitor is the ideal tool for monitoring servers - it does everything real time and i think you likely need to just adjust your thresholds so you get less emails.
spiceworks inventory is not intended to be used for monitoring - you can do some aspects with it, but if you're looking for real time monitoring, you're probably best off finding another tool.  if you want to do asset management and keep an eye on the devices for things like disk space, then we're going to be a good fit.  for 500 workstations, if you can avoid using the agent and just directly scan them, you will be better off from a performance standpoint - assuming the environment is fairly consistent, once you figure out how to scan one workstation, those changes should likely apply to the rest (maybe via gpo).  
i hope this helps somewhat.
jackie. You can post a hijackthis log and i can take a look at it for you. Malware might be the cause. Dear Jay Nelish


Your Question is incomplete


is the specific system is not on Network? its might be a problem discovered last year, that system ping but not share any data, or cannot access the system


you click on start menu and then click on run  

type serivces.msc  

and run the computer browser service, Remote Procedure call service, Server, and Client service


and your problem will resolved  

but actually this is because of virus change your antivirus program and scan your system wtih updated A/V [VNC](http://www.realvnc.com/index.html) is an excellent tool for this purpose. There are other versions out there called UltraVNC, TightVNC. You can also use Remote Desktop if these are Windows machines.


You could also use STRCPYSCN sorry for the sign-in trouble! we're looking into this issue and working to fix it on our end so you can keep streaming your favorite shows and movies. hang in there, we will be giving updates here as we get them. in the meantime, try streaming your service over different browsers, your mobile device, or your streaming media players. check out our supported devices.
 
we’ll keep you posted.
 
-directvnowcare When it’s plugged into the server it should show up in MyComputer with the next available drive letter assigned to it.


If you don’t see if there open up Computer Management and under disk management see if it’s there but without a drive letter assigned to it. The file is spyware releated ,download the spyware programs at the bottom of my post and update them and run them ,do not remove anything with hijsckthis ,copy and paste the log in here , that is where i'd start as well. osi...
so:
1. physical link (maybe check the patch panel and the cabling that's involved in connecting to the computer, maybe swap cables and try a usb to ethernet adapter to rules the nic out.
2. data link - check the switches and switchports on the way. maybe try to use different portts
3. network - most likely not an issue if all the other computers are working fine...
etc.
but this is pretty much it: Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed.
