Hi again Dirk, 

 

Do you mean a local account on that server, rather than a domain account?

You need to create a person in Servers Alive, not a domain user.

Hi Dirk, and thanks for responding. I believe this is exactly what I did. 

 

I created a domain account (SAadmin) that I am using for this purpose. In the 
agents (for remote agent checks) section of SA, I used the credentials of this 
account to configure the agent checks (both hosts: my laptop, and the SA 
server). This user is also in the local administrators group of the SA server. 

 

On my remote clients, I use these same credentials. However, after clicking 
“connect”, the status stays “not connected”. So it does 
not connect from a remote host nor the local host. Anything you think I may of 
missed?

You will need to create a PERSON and give that person the right to connect via 
the Remote Icon.  And you'll need to configure the remote icon to use that 
person/user too. 

 

In order to use the remote icon to configure Servers Alive you will need to do 
that from the system running Servers Alive, not from a remote system.

Subject: [SA-list] Remote Clients never connect 

Hi, 

 

New to Servers Alive, and trying to configure remote clients. My goal is to 
have our IT staff administer SA without having to log onto the server itself 
with some shared logon account. 

 

I have installed SA Enterprise version 7.0.2505 on a Windows 2008 R2 server, 
and have started it as a service. In the Setup > Built-in servers > remote 
clients section, I have enabled remote client access, and by default all 
computers are granted access. Even though I am not totally sure this section is 
related, I have added two hosts to the agent checks: the servers alive server, 
and my laptop. 

 

>From both the server’s remote icon, and my laptop remote icon, it never 
>connects, even though I have the correct IP and port numbers, as well as the 
>account credentials I have configured the SA service to use. 

 

So my questions are: 

1)      Am I understanding the SA service and remote icon correctly that it is 
a way to run the GUI of the server service so that SA can be administered 
remotely? 

2)      Have I set up the remote clients correctly? 

Unfortunately the documentation is not real clear on these issues, and there is 
no forum on the SA site. Any assistance from this mailing list would be greatly 
appreciated. 

 

Thanks,
