TI 9.1 Can't connect to remote hosts

Hi,

Upgraded to TI 9.1 Ent server to test and I can't get the monitor to connect to a remote acronis agent. I have uninstalled 8.0 from the remote host and installed the 9.1 agent onto it and still can't connect, it is saying that I have to install the monitoring console on the remote host?? This was not the case with 8.

I've been looking about for the required 9.1 components that are required on a remote host but can't find anything.

I want to install as little as possible on the remote client.

my Ent server is Win 2003 Server and the remote host is Win 2000 Pro, both on same subnet with no firewalls etc etc. 8.0 worked ok, usernames / passwords same on both.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Pete

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I've think I've sussed what has been happening, it would appear that if I try to connect to a host and it fails for some reason (not installed, or booted yet) then the console will always fail to connect to that client, only when I close and restart the console will it work. So the client is actually working but it looks like the manegment console is a bit broken. I will check on build, but I only downloaded from the upgrade email about 4 days ago.

I've also noticed that the console fails to update correctly if you do something simple like.

1. connect to 1 host and schedule a job - then disconnect
2. connect to 2nd host and schedule job (or use group thingy) - then disconnect.
3. connect back to first host and delete scheduled job - then disconnect
4. connect back to 2nd host and look at scheduled jobs, none are displayed
5. restart the console and connect back to 2nd host, the job now appears.

I've also noticed that using group jobs you can't specify an ftp target host, the job on the client becomes a corrupt script! is this possable using group jobs?

Thanks
Pete

Hi,
its very simple,

go to create a new group task,
select the hosts you want
follow all the steps but specify ftp://1.1.1.1/ as the target
specify the correct username etc
use [Computername] for the filename
finish it off and it all says its ok,

connect to the client and run the job and it will fail with a corrupt script error.

is that enough for you?

Pete
