Problems with installing CIM on NT Terminal Server.

[Ayman Altounji]

Have followed the tech support provided by Compaq on how to install CIM on Winodows NT Terminal Server but faced problems of activating the CIM and the apps hang at launch. Have to end task it and and relaunch the apps and this will work for 1 time. But the next time the apps is launched again, the apps hangs again. Pls help.

What service pack is installed on Terminal Server? Is there a specific agent or app that hangs or...?

Hi service pack 6a is installed and everything works fine except the CIM has to be launched for 2 times before it can really work on a NT terminal server. Everytime only the CIM apps not responding. Any comments???

If multiple users are intended to use that CIM installation, I wouldn't recommend it. The console uses one set of databases (located in its own cim_db subfolder) and was not designed to share them among concurrent users. If shared, there is a great likelihood of data corruption.

FWIW, I am running CIM over the Windows 2000 terminal services. I installed TS in remote administration mode and don't have to deal with changing from install to execute and all that.

The setup has been running fine this way without all the crashes I read about. However, I am the only user, and have tried to make sure (knock on wood) I don't ever run it from more than one session concurrently. Too much trouble recollecting all the data again when the databases are corrupted.
