I believe it already does that implicitly. At least on my setup when "conn" is lost everything else (except info and trends) goes clear. I don't think I did anything special to cause this.

Well, it's probably time for me to do one of these -- I'd really like it if there was an implicit (or explicit cabability for) ALL tests on a host to depend on connectivity. No connectivity, no purples. Hmm. Better look at the current version myself!

That's what I get for not running the latest version! I had better upgrade soon ;) Thanks Craig Cook -- Systems Monitoring Consulting and Support Services http://www.cookitservices.com To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

It would be nice if you could do this globally for all tests. Maybe you can and I am not understanding where to do that?

[hobbit] LDAP Windows 2003
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 24 Jun '05

Ok, I figured it out. 2003 REQUIRES that you use an ldaplogin=username:password in the bb-hosts file, whereas 2000 did not. Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Lowery, Michael Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 7:08 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] LDAP Windows 2003 The ldap format that I used to test Windows 2000 servers does not appear to work on Windows 2003 servers. Is anyone successfully using ldap on Win2k3? What I use on Win2k: ldap://10.20.30.40/cn=username,cn=users,DC=subdomain,DC=domain,DC=com The above query would never give me any results, but it worked well enough to make sure that ldap was responding to queries. This same test on a Win2k3 server gives me the error: Operation Error Thanks for any advice! Michael
