Getting Remote Admin working

[jg99]

Hi

I am new to Nod and I am trying to test a working system.

So far I have installed Control Centre on a W2003 server and set up a mirror on a NetWare 6.5.5 server public area. It seems to work.

I have installed Remote Administrator on an XP workstation as well as the 2003 server. However, I cannot connect.

On the server it wants to go to localhost:2223. However, netstat -a does NOT show this port [ ie not shown as listening].

Not sure what I have missed. Must be something basic??

Thanks in advance
John

Could you check if the RAS service is actually running? Do you get any error when RAC is connecting to RAS?

Correct RAS license file installed on the main server?
Double check...bring up control center on the main server, system tools, system setup, setup button, license keys tab....re-import the .lic file if not showing (it often doesn't always show from the install)

Manually restart the RAS service.

Hi Marcos and YeOldStoneCat

Marcos
1. NOD32 Kernel Service is the only service running I can find.
Is this the one or is there another name I should look for?

2. Error is
NOD32 Remote Administrator Console
Error: Connection failed!
Server: localhost
Port: 2223

1. Yes the license was out of date. Put in the new evaluation license and it now shows in Control Centre.
The product now showing is listed as NOD32 Remote Administrator with expiry end January.

2. rebooted server.
Attempt to log in to RAS still fails.
I have tried both the server administrator password and the Control Centre passwords. Same result. No Connection.
'netstat -a' still does not show port 2223 at all.

OK
So I checked the manual again.
Seems that the install does the console but not the server! Useful for novices!
Not sure if it was because of the old license or not.
So I reinstalled and now I have a NOD32 Remote Administrator service running. Also netstat shows ports on 2223 etc.
And I can connect! But no data shows. Useful...
So on to the next issue. ;D

Thanks Guys.

So make sure all clients (including the server itself) are reporting to the remote admin server in the NOD client. It will populate..takes a few minutes.

Try configuring the locally installed NOD32 to connect to RAS via local loopback (localhost / 127.0.0.1)
