Thanks! I haven't looked to D/L anything today due to other more inoquous issue which I'm pleased to say our WUG helped identify where the problem was in rather short order (gotta love seeing the breaks in red and green <GRIN>). Anyway in "switching", I was referring to changing the versions the users would sugddenly be getting when the brows to the WUG box (old .vs new), and it sounds like that's all that will be required (shut old one down and reconfig new one for Port 80!).
Thanks for the info... Will now take a few minutes to scope out the options availabe to get our upgrade. :) ------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Harrell, SPII Network Infrastructure - Tallahassee Fla.

At least if I have my version history right. That's because the Group Report "State Summary" is new, added since the CD was produced. The reason I point this out is that the "State Summary" report only took a few hours to develop. The whole idea with the new web interface is that users should be able to customise or add additional reports just as easily as we added this particular report. You can change anything you don't like. The WhatsUp Gold tags also allow for a lot of customisation.. but they are proprietary. You can't go to Amazon.com and buy a book to help out. Or use 3rd party development tools. Or call in a consultant to develop a report for you and have them already familiar with the concepts. You asked a couple of other questions. When running WhatsUp Gold and WhatsUp Professional together you will indeed have to resolve port conflicts. They can't both use port 80 as a webserver in exactly the same way that IIS and Apache can't. Reconfig is easy.. a quick visit to Program Options. Concerning "switching", are you referring to running WhatsUp Gold as a service and then having to stop the service in order to run the console? That is not an issue in WhatsUp Pro: the service runs all the time.

Personally, I'm not going to make any judgements one way or the other as I've seen too many demos of different products that behave entirely different than the demo'd versions (not just IPSwitch's stuff) and until I try it out, I'll ho9ld my comments. FWIW, it's good to see I can run them both on the same box without problems (how's the WEB interface between the two versions work out- do we need to specify different ports to use to access the two versions so so I can transparently switch them when the time is rigth and the users won't notice anything different in the way they access it until they get into the new WEB interface??). I'm also really looking forward to not having to shut down the WEB interface to run the console piece to fix the layout of maps with newly discovered devices! ------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Harrell, SPII Network Infrastructure - Tallahassee Fla.
