This is incredibly awesome. I've been meaning to check on GNS3 for a few months now - this is perfectly timed for my personal workload. I just need to carve out some time and have some fun. I've scanned through the document and it looks great. Two big thumbs up!

I'm in the process of testing a migration from Office 2007 to 2013 for my organization. Having all sorts of fun making sure all the Cloud features are turned off ("No Cloud for you!") via customized installation or GPO's. The biggest complaint in my testing group is the lack of color in Office 2013 - it's white/gray…

Awesome, I've been waiting no-so-patiently for this to happen! I just have to get some management approval and I'm signing up.

Interesting. Sadly I won't be able to test this and confirm/deny because my workplace enforces a very strict password complexity rule in the AD environment. However, one of the user accounts I have been testing is a LEM user account (non-AD) and it uses a simple password. It gets the exact same error and symptoms. But that…

Nice to know it is possible the RESTRICTREPORTS can be viewed, the other knowledgebase article (I will have to dig it up) made it sound like it was impossible to do that. It doesn't look like we are restricting dport 9001. Here is my output: --------------------------------- Network access configuration: *filter :INPUT…

Okay, we have some progress and change here.... As requested I uninstalled the Reports app. Then I rebooted my system and went into C:\Program Files\ and deleted the "SolarWinds Log and Event Manager Reports" directory. I then re-installed the Reports app using the "Run As Administrator" option. The first time I ran the…

I'll try a re-nuke and directory delete this afternoon. I was kicking myself that I didn't think to verify the directory removal last time prior to re-install. I considered the RESTRICTREPORTS command - I asked around to see if they had configured this and the answer was negative (LEM has only been installed for about 6…

Well that makes sense. I can't really think of another way to do it than the direction you are heading. I hope it works out... good luck!

Well I'm new to this myself, but at my organization they set up a dedicated workstation (virtual machine) for running Reports that doesn't inherit the normal AD user policies. It's in a special OU container for servers and special systems with different policies. That seems to work - we just RDP to the system when we need…

This was an excellent addition to the thread, thank you! I ran the steps as described and when the system checked the existing certificate it threw up this error: The current certificate does not match the network configuration and it might not work with TLS. So I selected the menu option to generate a new certificate,…

Confirmed, my telnet output looks exactly as predicted. Output copy is below: HSQLDB JDBC Network Listener. Use JDBC driver with Network Compatibility Version2 .1.0.0 and a JDBC URL like jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://hostname... Connection to host lost.

Sorry for the slow reply. No, we never really got a satisfactory resolution - but not for lack of trying. I spent hours and hours on the phone with support and they pulled in a lot of different resources trying to figure this out. In the end we got two workstations to work but three others would never work. It's a mystery…

It's been a while since the last update. Continuing to work with Customer Support on this issue. The three Windows 7 desktops that were previously configured with Reports (and had an operational link to LEM) no longer communicate with LEM. Troubleshooting isn't finding anything obvious. Even a test running Reports in Win7…

Here is an update in case anyone else is tracking this or having similar problems. I had a 1.5 hour long tech support call from SolarWinds yesterday on this issue. The tech had even read this discussion to see what had been tried previous to the call. That said he still walked me through the entire process all over again -…

I located and walked through the following Knowledgebase artice: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Installing LEM Reports ...and event after following all of the steps (again) I still don't have a resolution. So per the note at the bottom of the article I am going to escalate this to Support. If I get a definitive answer I'll…

I'm still a LEM newbie myself but I like your thinking. I just want to clarify - your concern about securing the patient name is in regards to an email alert, right? Because the email would contain the patient name? Is your email server internal? If my assumption is correct, I'm wondering if you have an email encryption…

Update in case anyone else does any searching on this - I opened a support ticket with SolarWinds and had a tech support call on this topic. The LEM logging behavior is expected and working as designed. Printer syslog events are captured in the printer log and not the 'syslog localx' logs. Because there isn't a connector…

This looked like a Windows error to me so I did a quick Google search and came up with the following link. It's a Dell site but it is in response to the same error code after trying to add a task in Windows Task Scheduler, so I think it might be relevant. Give it a try and see?…

I've been on both sides of that. One things to consider is that IT constantly deals with broken things - it's part of our job, right? If it's broken or not working we roll up our sleeves and get to work. At the same time we don't want to be dealing with broken tools, that takes away from our efficiency and confidence. If…
