Usually Exchange servers shutdown like that because they are installed on the same machine with the Active Directory Controller. The symptom is that the ADDS services shutdown before exchange does and Exchange waits for a reply from a query he makes to AD. As far as I know the timeout is set to five minutes. I've reduced that timeout on my exchange server to 30 seconds and the machine shutsdown faster now.

It could work as long as you only see detailed information for one system at a time (just like the mobile clients do).

Any shortcuts to the system / module would do great as everyone seems to be doing the same thing when they read the notifications: Read message, Investigate current status and Apply fix. I particularly like this idea. +1

Hi, So you're asking that instead of a new notification that the ping endpoint can be reached again you would like that the agent would modify the previously sent ping failure notification to change it's priority and content. I like the idea but I don't see a practical use of it. When I receive a notification that some device cannot be reached I would like to know why that happened and queue an investigation of the network to evaluate potential downtimes and future risks. At the moment notifications can be ordered by date so I can quickly identify when something happened and when it got fixed (if applicable). However this doesn't mean that the notification cannot change a notification if the problem got fixed as long as the two notifications get merged nicely (Fix date to be properly appended to the original message and notification priority to be dropped to low or normal).

As far as I know you can purchase a subscription for any number of systems where the minimum subscription is the amount of systems that are currently registered on your account. On the purchase subscription wizard on the website you can move slider that controls the amount of systems you wish to buy back and forward.

Ups, I totally forgot about this. I will create the plugin and post it here today or tomorrow. Thanks for the heads-up.

Well that would mean that if you have 100 monitored computers you would have 100 computers constantly sending a lot of data. I like to use dashboard to see the overall status of the monitored systems, when there is something bad happening a notification will fireup on the dashboard and I can quickly identify the system and it's severity. It would be an overkill to add all that information for all computers, imagine the traffic you would generate...

Can you wake up your computer with another application that supports WoL? Have you enabled WoL in your BIOS settings? Are you connected to internet via an ethernet connection (wired, not wireless)?

You can also delete a service using the sc command: sc delete "PC Monitor" Good Luck, Paul.

Why not use a scheduled task to do it?

Sure, whitelist: Note: List may not be acurate so test it and see if it works.

Any event logs, diagnostic outputs, operating system details, anything at all other than "it doesn't start after windows update restart"? I can't reproduce this on my servers: 2003 R2. Standard and 2008 R2 Standard. All update, restart and PC Monitor starts up as expected.

Download the msi file again then execute msiexec /x msifile or msiexec /uninstall msifile .

Hello, This is normal behaviour when the configuration has been protected with a password. On the lower left side of the application you have a padlock that should say: "Click here to unlock the configuration" or something similar. You will be prompted to input a passcode. Good luck.

Hello, I've looked at the script and it's a fairly easy task however you need to do a similar approach to make it work with MPM: Have a plugin installed into PC Monitor that opens a WCF Service listening for connections on a local port Have an application that is installed on your machine that takes a string as a parameter and passes that parameter to the WCF Service when invoked. WCF Service will treat that action as a notification and will forward it to PC Monitor. Ofcourse the implementation is going to be a lot easier than the explanation looks like but I will make the plugin and service for you. Just give me 24 hours. Thank You, Paul.

Hello, You do realize that without actually posting the full script i can't help you at all. On that link you provided I can only see how to configure the script to send emails. I need to know how it reads data from OMSA log in order to give you an answer on how you can get that kind of monitoring inside PC Monitor. If you can, PM me with the full script and I will do my best to help you. Paul.

Hello, I've published an opensource plugin that can easily be modded to show this information. Under five minutes you can have a plugin up and running. Take a look and ask if you have any questions. Plugin Link: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/782-create-plugin-in-visual-studio-vb/#entry3239 Paul.

This could be useful indeed. Any chance we will get an uptime report? I guess it would be nice if you would be able to see when the computer issued a shutting down, offline, started events.

Judging from this post, they want to implement their own remote desktop support. Asking for remote desktop is not as helpful as providing what kind of remote desktop features you would be interested on. I'd like to see the following remote desktop features: Keyboard layout switching (host or client's layout) Clipboard sync when clipboard is just plain text Binding CTRL + ALT + DEL to a button or a similar hotkey Hooking WIN and WIN + KEY hotkeys so that they only get forwarded to the machine without executing locally Integration with the windows dashboard app, I don't need it on my phone. I hate doing remote desktop with a phone or tablet. Support for MAC maybe? What are you expecting to see in PC Monitor's Remote Desktop?

Have you forwarded UDP 9 to your computer ip address?

Just leaving a note for Marla45 here. Plugin development has stopped since this particular feature is now implemented by PC Monitor itself and it's way better than mine. Please use PC Monitor's security center feature: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/914-pc-monitor-40-for-ios-is-now-available/ . Thank you.

Hello Barry, My plugin will not work on server operating systems and as far as I know PC Monitor's security center will not work either. Mainly because server operating systems do not have Security Center / Action Center features. Paul.

Congrats on your first plugin . You did a great job, and for everyone to see here is a public folder with screenshots of this plugin: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i7i0djbos3ylqxk/053Vhy8uqA Just amazing.

Oh, cool. A guide would do just great .

Hello, PC Monitor can be configured to route traffic through a Proxy Server. Take a look in the PC Monitor Manager -> Settings tab. Also you can consult the user manual here for help on PC Monitor configuration. Let me know if you find any troubles using PC Monitor under a proxy server.
