In order to manage an Edge box from an R55 SmartCenter Server, you have to manually execute a batch file named "smsstart.bat" nominally found in C:\WINNT\FW1\R55\bin. Once this is done, the Edge X box can connect to the SmartCenter server and be managed by it.
Unfortunately, as soon as you logoff the SmartCenter server, an event is generated that the SMS process has exited normally. And the Edge box can no longer talk to the SmartCenter server.
This same issue was posted over on the Sofaware discussion forum back in April and I'm kind of surporised it's still there in R55 HFA06. Does anyone know of a fix? Outside of putting it in the registry manually, of course. :-)
Thanks,
Ray
