Peter, I checked out the Small Business version, and found it to be lacking in the same manner as the current version of WUG in respects to user and map permissions management...
Do the plans for the "new" WUG version include those enhancements that I have seen being requested over the past few days on this list?

Thanks Rob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Jenney Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 9:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Running What's Up Gold as a service Hi Gang, We've listened and have addressed it. If any of you who have tried out the brand new *Ipswitch WhatsUp Small Business* product you will have noticed that it is a true client/server application, and the server runs as a service. There are also a whole bunch of other things in the product that you'll find interesting too including a fresh UI, a new reporting system, and it runs on top of SQL Server. Check it out. WhatsUp Small Business is way too small for most of you guys, but you can use it to get an idea where the next "Gold" product is heading. Oh, and by the way, its spelled Mr. Ipswitch, not IPswitch ;-) Cheers! pete.;1 -)-------------- Peter H. Jenney Product Management Ipswitch 10 Maguire Rd.

This let us define an account with only just enough priv to access Windows services. I'd hate to have a privileged account permanently logged in. For editing maps, is it reasonable (in your organisations) to keep the 'master copy' of the maps on a management station somewhere, do the edits on that machine, then copy the updated maps to the main WUG server? All you have to do now is to restart the service. For the record, though; "Hey Mr IPswitch? Could we please have the interactive session running at the same time as the service? Even just enough to edit the maps and update the service? Please?"

This is a real pain. So I setup Windows to logon at boot. Then WUG runs from the logon script. I then have the station locked. I'm the only one that uses the console so I don't have the user issues. I don't like it, but it does work. -----Original Message----- >From: "Jay Drew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: 6/10/04 1:48:45 PM >To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Running What's Up Gold as a service > >My security rules will not allow me to leave the WUG server logged in when >the person is not in presence.
