The other day we found a Vista machine in our network that we could not remotely monitor from the LAN using WMI. But WMI monitoring was working fine on all our other Vista machines…
Finally we discovered that on the specific machine the NOD32 anti virus software was causing the same problems for WMI as we had already seen for SNMP (see my post from July 5th about dysfunctional SNMP on Vista).
As soon as we applied the procedure described in the article from July everything was fine for WMI.
A new knowledgebase article has instructions what a user of PRTG Traffic Grapher can do when the “Live Graph” doesn’t show graph lines for the monitoring data although monitoring seems to work ok.
We have received sporadic error reports from users of our software PRTG Traffic Grapher where the program was not properly started “as a service” when the Windows GUI was closed.
In this case this new knowledgebase article has some instructions.
