On solarwinds.com under support you'll see the Evaluation Guide for the current release (5.5.2). It steps through the IIS config for the supported operating systems.

Hi Carmen, I may be misunderstanding your problem, based on my limited comprehension of Spanish, but you seem to be receiving alert driven emal notifications that match alert data with the wrong nodes. If that's correct then the behavior is highly unusual and I will refer this to a product developer. Please clarify or…

This blog article covers the setup:

Has anyone on your team created an ACL on the device that would block the IP of your launch point?

Each NCM integration with NPM is limited in operations to the nodes the databases (NPM/NCM) share. So each integration is distinct--as are their views. Doug

Yes, you can go to Settings/Node Management.

I'm asking dev to verify the device template. Stay tuned. Doug

If you are running ColdFusion server in your environment this KB article might help you: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1388

Try { { }} 

Some devices reset to factory defaults if a valid config is not running. You would see something in the log on each switch I would think that should say if the running config was acted on at the time of the event you describe.

You need to add all three Juniper nodes in Orion NCM desktop application (Nodes/Add a Node). If you have done this already, verify in the ONCM node list that all three devices have the vendor identification. If they're all identified as Juniper devices in the list then there's no reason you shouldn't see them in Juniper…

Were permissions changed on the database server regarding remote access?

patriot, You won't see anything in the database if sending an email is the only trigger action defined for the alert. NCM has to touch the device in some way for something to be written into $(Notes). Try setting up an advanced alert with 'Execute an NCM Action: Execute Config Script' as the trigger action; type 'show…

No easy way to do that through the GUI. I'll call to PM's attention. Thanks.

A KB article discusses an issue involving deprecated support for nonalphanumeric characters in naming scheduled jobs in NCM 5.5.2. If your disappeared jobs were custom and named with special characters, checkout: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1376 DPW

dofhwam, In NCM 6.0 the Syslog and Trap Services must be run with administrator access. See Running Syslog and Trap Services as Administrator in the Orion Network Configuration Management Administrator Guide for the step to grant this access. Also, if that's not relevant to your problem, check these KB articles:…

I think you could use a config change template to do this. See the chapter "Working with Config Change Templates" in the Orion NCM Administrator Guide; and refer to the section "SolarWinds Information Services Data Entities" (NCM.IpAddresses is probably the object you want to work with). Doug

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but ${EngineID} is a node variable that pertains to the polling engine associated with a node.

Hi Robert, Follow the steps in "Migrating Orion Network Configuration Manager" in the Orion Network Configuration Administrator Guide. Post back to let me know if you encountered any obstacle. Thanks. Doug

drewgans, In the upcoming release there will be support for conditional string searching and for auto-remediation. Conditional logic includes parenthetical string grouping, and/or operators for establishing relationships between strings and string groups. With regular expressions and this logic you will have a good shot at…

In NCM 6.1 we support custom config types; with those you will be able take your policy management to the appliance level. Doug

One very important consider to keep in mind is that NCM 7.3 is the first release in which NCM will exclusively use the Orion Platform database. During upgrade, all NCM data is migrated from the existing NCM database to a schema in the Orion Platform database (which you are currently using for your NPM installation). As the…

ZibaK, Due to the specific requirements of an NCM-NPM integration, I'm currently upgrading documentation for such an environment as a flowchart accessible from the Customer Portal for NCM version 7.0. However, in either the NCM QuickStart Guide or Administrator Guide, there are both installing and upgrading instructions…

You can try going to the Orion NCM Web Console and checking for the dropdown there. If it's there, and you can use the Windows option, go back to Orion Web Console and check if you're prompted there for the Windows login under the credentials button on a given resource.

SuperFly99 is steering you right. The most current documentation on installing and configuring NCM is in Chapter 2 of the NCM Administrator's Guide (v7.1.1): http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orionNCM/docs/orionNCMAdministratorGuide.pdf The installation flow for your specific deployment type takes you from installing…

Windows 7 can be used for evaluation only; not as a production server.

Hi cbreger, If your need is just a basic config comparison between two different devices, try selecting the devices and using Configs > Compare Configs or create a Config Change Report (Reports > Config Change Reports). Doug

If you are running NCM on Windows Server 2008, follow the steps in this KB article to permission the Syslog and Trap Services: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1399

If you can see the orphaned interfaces you should be able to select and delete them using Manage Nodes; assuming you are running an Orion/NCM integration.

Hi Dentifrice, If you are saying you want to find unused physical interfaces (i.e. ports) on your nodes and turn off those interfaces with a specific status, then you would use the NCM.Interfaces entity and query for value of 'AdminStatus' for each interface. See the section "SolarWinds Information Services Data Entities"…
