In this thread Derek provides some more information around how the comparison works: let me know if this helps.

I just used the script to monitor an Orion installation using the following settings where my Username is the default "Admin" with no password. I noticed you were lookng for the word top which happens to be a word that appears in the error message returned when an invalid username/password is passed via this script to…

If you have not tried this already, try forcing a refresh of the WMI classes on the target server being queried. Use the following command within a "cmd.exe" prompt. Windows 2000: winmgmt /resyncperf Windows XP, 2003, Vista: wmiadap.exe /f

npp.exe is the correct exe. You could try something like: Npp.exe <recipient short name> ipMonitor this is a test message The most important thing is the recipient and the sender being one word without spaces. Everything after that should be considered to be the message.

As APM only allows you to use one credential which is used to execute the script you could create local user accounts on both the Orion server and the remote server with the same username and password and use that credential.

Hi Jeremy, In order to use the NCM windows client in a "integrated separate server" deployment your primary Orion Server does need to be online. Hope this helps, Matt

yes, we would also like to set the transient period to stick forever... How can I set it to 340days? Under IPAM settings / Subnet Scan Settings you can set the Transient Period.

Also don't forget to move over any device templates you have modified / created as they are on disk. If you also store your config archive on the local disk you may want to move that folder as well.

I also one of the posts state the the windows GUI is now read-only, what exactly does this mean or did I read that post incorrectly ? Certain properties are now handled in the Node settings for the Orion Node in the Web UI. NCM specific settings such as device template, login credentials and connection mode are still…

Hi Aaron, I have also added your vote to an existing feature request we are tracking internally as 13281 for the ability to export configs from the web. Regards, Matt

Have you tried running npp.exe from the command line with the same parameters? If that works then I would suggest opening a support case on this so we can help you troubleshoot this offline.

Have you tried running it on the server where APM is installed or just locally on the remote server? APM executes VBScripts locally on the APM server. If not try running it on the APM server passing in the -Computer SERVERNAME param as well as the others ( -area System -type Error -timespan 5 )

Yes the thresholds can remain the same.

Thanks for the info. We have been collecting this data is this poll. One of the options to test this is to just clone the NCM database, install NCM 7.2 on a new server/vm and choose to create a new Orion database, perform a Node sync and then upgrade to NCM 7.3 beta. If you or anyone is interested in trying this out let me…

Hi Mike, We have made a couple updates in the newly released 7.2 that may help with this. One of which is increasing some internal timeouts on the queries to delete the node and its related data from the NCM database when the signal from the Orion platform is received. Let us know if 7.2 helps.Otherwise have you opened a…

Custom properties are not in the settings of the registry but in the database. There are some limitations on using legacy NCM custom properties from before NCM 7 as they are not migrated to the Orion database. You should be able to see your old NCM properties in NCM ares of the website ( 7.0.2 allows you to also see them…

Jenya, The main Orion web console controls all jobs so no need for additional web consoles. Before NCM 7.2 jobs used the windows task scheduler vs the Orion job engine which meant that jobs had to be duplicated in the NCM win32 application locally on every poller but that is no longer the case. In NCM 7.2.x jobs are all…

Hi Keith, Technically it is possible to do this however there are a few things to note. The main issue will be that you will have two Orion Core Databases for the period of time before you integrate, one for your NPM and one for NCM and will lose some polling history, and Orion platform settings when you make the move.…

Glenn, I just reread your post about licensing and wanted to make sure I clarify that Additional pollers do have a separate license from the main server but are not product specific. So if you already have an additional poller license for NPM for instance you may install NCM AP package and it will use that license. You…

Great! You are correct that you do not need to purchase a different additional NCM license for our remote poller if you already have a AP license for another product like NPM.

Hi Jesper, 7.0.2 is the internal version number and is actually 7.0 and not the follow up service release 7.0.1, which internally shows as v7.0.3. I know it’s a little confusing and we plan on changing how version numbers are displayed in future releases. Therefor you should update to 7.0.1 available in your customer…

I am assuming that the feature for change detection is enabled in the NCM settings and the option to include the changes is selected. Are you getting emails because you setup a syslog alert action to send you an email? To get the actual NCM realtime notifications with the details of the change you add a "Execute Program…

Hi Jon, Would you be able to post a screen cap of a failing monitor's config as I presume these are public URL's? Or perhaps you could post what you have for the "Test Parameters" section in the monitor config. Thanks, Matt

NCM 7.1 used the windows task scheduler to execute jobs so you do have files on disk.(Program files\SolarWinds\Orion\NCM\Jobs) However in 7.2.x NCM now uses the Orion Job engine and jobs…

What specific error message are you seeing? Have you tried using the IP address vs hostname? Are you providing an account with Orion admin privileges?

There is a command for listing the firewalls config: netsh firewall show config For more info you could check out this Microsoft KB article: support.microsoft.com/.../875357 Matt

Do you have it setup like the following?

smartd, I can confirm that it only sync nodes one way, NCM - > NPM/Orion Core. The node counts are additive so that if you had a NPM 100 and a NCM 100 you would end up having 200 Orion Core nodes available and 100 NCM nodes. The concept is you need an Orion Core node for every NCM node but not the other way around. You can…

Also verify you have the correct failure command line configured. The shortname represents the recipient you have configured within NotePager Pro. Sender is a word of your choosing. <short name> <sender> <message> For example I have used the following in the past: Matt ipMonitor %monitorname% %monitorstatus% Hope this…

Hi Tim, I am curious how big is your NCM database vs your Orion database?
