NCM & NPM Integration and RTCD

Question

My current implementation has NCM running on one system, NPM is running on another system, and my third system is a SQL server that has the database for both NCM and NPM.

I want to setup the RTCD for NCM using Syslog but my Syslog messages are going to NPM.  From what I have read this should work, is that correct?

I should be able to setup a Syslog alert on my NPM system that runs an external command and have it execute the following...  "Path\Configuration Management\ConfigAutoDownload.exe ${IP}".

I am assuming that by doing this everything will work and when changes take place a new config will be downloaded automatically in NCM, is that correct?

This won't work because the "ConfigAutoDownload.exe" isn't remote-able.   It must be locally executed on the machine on which NCM is installed.   So, you have a couple of choices:

1. Send Syslog to both NPM and NCM servers

2. Move your NCM server to your NPM server
