Windows NCPA question

Post by jsalsbury »

Good morning
We recently had a package created for the automated install of NCPA on windows. However, when created we did not set the IP address in the command like to 0.0.0.0 . We are unable to navigate to the servers through Nagios and we thought it was a default command, is there a way to adjust these setting with NCPA already installed?

You will need to find a way to remotely edit the ncpa.cfg file by adding this line:

Code: Select all

ip =0.0.0.0
You could probably do that by using:

Code: Select all

\\ip address\c$
See some discussions here:

Your sysadmin can probably help you with that.
Obviously, after making the change to the ncpa.cfg file, you would need to restart the NCPA Listener service, so that changes can take effect.

One more thing - just to give you the heads up, the issue is going to be fixed in NCPA 2.17. You can see the changelog here:
