230.0. "Performance Manager broke somehow" by USPS::FPRUSS (Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347) Wed Mar 19 1997 10:01

    Since I installed ServerWorks 2.0 and SWCC1.1b on my system,
    Performance Monitor bails out with Computer Name not found on My Windows
    NT 4.0 server.  The missing name is the name of the system it self!
    
    Performance Monitor still works with another Server here in my home
    office and Performance Montior's Network browser sees the system SW is
    installed on, but when I selct it from the browser I get Computer Name
    not found!  Same if I go to the other server and try to connect here.
    
    Shares on this Network Name are working.
    
    I have installed ServerWorks on my NTAS system as I do not have a
    seperate workstation.
    
    Is ther a particular problem associated with installing SW20 Management
    on the same server that is being "managed".
    
    This is just for exploring functionality...

230.1ServerWorks 2.2 not 2.0USPS::FPRUSSFrank Pruss, 202-232-7347Wed Mar 19 1997 14:292

230.2Domain Controller not upPCBUOA::BRACKENTue Mar 25 1997 08:0823
    This is almost certainly *not* related to ServerWORKS.  The fact that
        he's not seeing any computers in the browse list can be from one of
        several conditions:
        
        not waiting long enough for the browser list to be created on his
    NT
        domain (the browse list can take a while to get created after a
    machine
        reboots)
        the NT machine running ServerWORKS console has not been added to
    the
        browse list or has been explicitly deleted from the browse list
        
        There could be other problems with the NT primary domain
    controller. 
        If he's in a non-domain environment, we'd need more info to figure
    out
        what's happening.  But I still think that it's not related to
    SWORKS
        2.2.

230.3AnswerUSPS::FPRUSSFrank Pruss, 202-232-7347Fri May 16 1997 20:247
    It was a corrupt PERFC009.DAT.  _NOT_ a Serverworks problem.  The
    source file for this was corrupt in the on-line kit I maintain to
    support the frequent re-configs I usually do.  Not sure how that
    happened, but the "drive" is an NT Stripe set, and I've heard that
    there can be bugs in that.
