Monitoring a Windows 2008 server

Hi All,

Had a search but couldnt find any posts about this.... We have added out first 2008 server to NPM but it shows as a NT server. All our 2003 servers show as 2003 servers so not sure if this is an Orion problem or a Windows problem??

Anyone come across this??

I saw it mentioned in another thread about it identifying as WINDOWS NT. So that is the norm for now.
I have a Windows 2008 R2 server that won't work with SNMP at all. Must be a problem with other NMS monitoring.
And I think Microsoft is being notified about it here:

Thanks ecklerw1. So its an R2 issue not a 2008 issue?
