Any special considerations for Win 2012 non-GUI
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:08 pm
Good afternoon,
I'm just wondering if there are any special considerations that I should be aware of when trying to monitor Windows servers running under Windows 2012 with no GUI i.e. text interface only?
The reason I ask is that I installed NSClient++ on two such servers before I had to leave work unexpectedly this afternoon (my son had locked himself out of the house, so I had to up sticks and move quickly!) and, realising that this isn't exactly precise reporting, the last thing I remember seeing in the interface was something like "Unable to retrieve information from host".
As I'm at home now, I'm unable to tell you the exact message , but if anyone out there can at least say "Ah yes, you need to...", it means I can get a good start when I go in in the morning (an hour early to make up for the time I lost today!) and I don't lose a day waiting for the Nahios community to come on line at 16:00!
As always, thanks in advance for your help.
Pete
