Why not go the whole hog and run your email and internet browsing on a server too? If you were using a thin client or a drastically underpowered PC, then this would make sense, but not if you have a decent workstation. I agree that running lots of consoles creates a headache due to startup time and occasionally on a resource basis, so what we try to do is integrate as much stuff as possible into OpsManager, so we don't need to stare at a load of consoles. Then I can only open consoles as I need to work on them. But if your PC can't handle running seven or eight applications including a few management consoles, or if you worry because your machine uses lots of its memory (even though it is there to be used), then you have a few issues that need to be resolved.

I can't test right now, but that seems like it would stop the console too. there's two key vipre services, by the way. If you can "net stop", there's no reason to taskkill ________________________________________ From: Andrew S. Baker [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 11:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Vipre console hangs server on reboot Well, if they (app vendor) offer no programmatic way to shut the console down, and they (app vendor) are suggesting that you kill the task, then your only other alternative will be an application that programmatically manages the dialog boxes. This approach will likely be complicated by the state of the server (e.g. workstation locked). Process killing is rarely fraught with peril...

As for not running the Console remotely, I really don't wish to install it on another machine as it's a bit of a resource hog. As far as taskkill, I just don't like killing off a process "just because", and that's what that seems like to me. From: Andrew S.

I checked with Sunbelt support and they said there is no way to *programmatically* close the console when I reboot the server (scheduled task, so it's non-interactive.) They suggested using Microsoft's TaskKill. Anyone got any better suggestions?
