Yes, that would be the next best thing, although it requires more manual overhead. I just assumed that a more dynamical approach was available, since it sounds pretty useful and straight-forward. There has been vbs scripts around since 2005 that does this, so it might be possible to make our own custom monitor, although I…

The files are published on one central server\share 1-2 times a month and are then distributed to 10+ other remote servers\shares as they are processed by a central system. The files are not changed during the distribution, but the file names change with every new version that is being published. We would like to verify…

Something like this? APM File Age Wildcard Request

Yes, we have, according to MS SCM's template for WS2008R2SP1. I've had a go with the File Existence Monitor instead, since it would be a similar approach to the File Change Monitor. The thing is that I need to specify the path and file name of every single file that I want to monitor, regardless of what type of file…

Hello again, Ok, I've had a go now with the File Change Monitor. Didn't work out for me though. First I tried to monitor the actual file (zip file, ~50 MB), but the file was to large for the checksum generator. Then I tried to monitor a text file that also gets distributed along with the zip. But then I get the following…

Hm, now I've done some tests. I took a domain member client, started to monitor the time drift and it worked. Then I un-joined the domain and changed the credentials in the monitor to a local account, and it's still working without any hassle. So I'm suspecting that something is wrong with the target machine in the first…

It's a Win7 so PS2 and WinRM are native. WinRM is enabled on both SAM server and the target machine. I've run the commands you've suggested and also Enable-PSRemoting –force and Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted,on target but still get the same RPC error. The computers have a firewall in between but the SAM server have full…

No, I've used the native template until now. Ok, so I've imported the updated template in your URL, but that one throws me RPC errors instead. Have I missed any prereqs? The target is a standalone server and those usually don't respond that well to WMI in my experience. (I've x'd out the credentials below.) Output:…

Yes, I can access the share and SAM server have full port access to the target. If I specify WMI as the fetching method, I get "Unable to connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for WMI access." If I choose RPC, I get the ol' "The RPC server is unavailable".

Hi again, I'm kind of struggling with the poweshell template at the moment. I'm experiencing som kind of reliability issue. It worked fine on the first try, so I made a copy of it but as I tested it again after changing a few parameters (credentials + string arguments) I started getting errors. So I went back to the…

Sorry, I'm missed to follow up entirely since my post. I'll get on this asap. Thank you. Rgrds, Simon

I've tried this and rebooted but still unable to connect with WMI or RPC. If this is a general credential-related issue with standalone computers, surely lots of people would have the same problem... :-/

Hi, Yes, this worked like a charm, I'm satisfied with this sollution. Thank you. Btw; is there any view that shows all monitored sheduled tasks? Today they only pop up if they are "down". Rgrds, Simon
