waiting for configuration verification...... never ends.

I have turned off the firewall on that target windows 2008 server, but still get the same result.

It is very difficult to help you and troubleshoot the issue if you don't answer our questions. slansing asked you:

Did you install the agent on the remote server and open ports 12489 and 5666?

Please, let us know if you installed and configured the agent and what is the documentation that you followed. Also, is your original issue fixed ("waiting for configuration verification...... never ends")?

[yjchennagios]

Yes. First thing I did was opening these 2 ports (TCP) on this windows 2008 server, but problem was still there. Then I turned off the firewall, still no help.
I followed this instruction

I used the same instuction to add a Windows 7 system successfully 2 days ago, but not on this windows2008 server. I don't need to open firewall ports on windows 7, since NSClient install should take care of them, right?

And yes, the original problem seemed to be solved now for Centos and Windows systems. I have not tried other systems yet, such as Mac and Ubuntu. I mentioned about the agent install question for Ubuntu system, but have not got the answered from you yet.

Personally, no I would not trust an application to properly open firewall ports for me. One sure fire way to check if it hasn't been mentioned is to use nmap.

Code: Select all

nmap -p 5666 [hostname\IP of windows]
nmap -p 12489 [hostname\IP of windows]

Just to be sure, the service is also started, and the nsc.ini\nsclient.ini has been populated?
