WMI Tester Tool updated

Today we have published updated version 2 of our WMI Tester Tool.

Since the release of PRTG Network Monitor 7, which can make massive use of WMI for monitoring in larger networks, we have seen quite a few customers having trouble with their WMI setups. These problems were caused by misconfigured firewalls, incorrect domain accounts, bad DCOM settings and many more. WMI Tester can be of a great help in such a situation - especially combined with our knowledgebase article "Paessler's Guide to Troubleshooting WMI Problems".

Maintenance Release for PRTG 7.0.9 available

We have uploaded a maintenance release of PRTG 7.0.9 that covers multiple smaller bugfixes, particularly covering a number of WMI issues. All of these bugfixes are based on feedback from users of PRTG and we want to thank everybody for mailing feedback and bug reports.

As you can see in the version history the bugs that we have fixed in this release mostly are quite specific issues which only showed on very few installations of PRTG 7. Nevertheless we recommend the upgrade to all users.

By the way: The number of installations of PRTG 7 is already above 25.000 and we are quite excited by this success!

The installation files for PRTG 7.0.9.2016 are available from the PRTG download webpage.
