Will your software run on NetWare 5.x or newer with NW Cluster services installed?

Installing AdRem Software products on clustered servers will not negatively affect either the stability or the processes running on these servers. However, we recommend that you download the trial and test the product in your environment. In a few configurations, some minor program functions may not be available on the cluster.

What systems does AdRem Server Manager support?

Is it possible to gather the server statistics without keeping Server Manager running on the workstation?

Server Manager collects server statistics onto the workstation. If it is not running, it is impossible to gather data from the server.

How can I gather statistics from many servers to analyze their trends?

You simply need to open the Server Manager Monitor window. Once you have done so, Server Manager will collect data for each server in the list that has the active status (marked with the green icon). This way, you will be able to combine data from multiple servers into one set of statistics displayed in a single screen.

How can I remove the demo version from NetWare server?

To remove the demo version from NetWare server you have to delete the proper NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) from the server and delete the line from the autoexec.ncf file (located in SYS:SYSTEM server directory). Unload and remove SMAGENT.NLM from the SYS:SYSTEM directory and the related lines form the autoexec.ncf.

I have downloaded the evaluation version but can't find 'nwserver.exe' to install it to a server. Where is it?

Which port number do I have to open on my firewall to connect via WAN?

Can I be notified by an alert if something wrong happens with my server (e.g. an Abend occurs)?

No. The current version of Server Manager does not provide alerting capabilities. However, you can use AdRem's cross-platform monitoring solution called NetCrunch that offers extensive alerting capabilities.
