Now in its 4th major release, HP Systems Insight Manager 5.0 should be the only thing you should consider for a new installation. I can't recommend spending time or trouble installing a discontinued product.<BR /><BR />More info: <A href="http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim" target="_blank">http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim</A> Tue, 31 Jan 2006 13:46:16 GMT David Claypool 2006-01-31T13:46:16Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-7-quot-error-getting-hostname-quot/m-p/3721395#M18035 Hello all,<BR /><BR />I'm trying to install SIM 7 on a Windows 2000 Server and it goes through the 100%, pauses for a bit then pops up a box labeled "Severe" and all it says is "error getting hostname."<BR /><BR />Any clues? I'm not having any system/network issues.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance!
