I'm setting up 4 new VMs running Windows Server 2022 Datacenter. Using the
same technique that I've used to set up the PowerShell version of the Xymon
client over the last few years, I copied the files into C:\Program
Files\Xymon\ and then run ".\xymonclient.ps1 install" and
".\xymonclient.ps1 run". For the first time in my experience, this isn't
working.
Is using the PowerShell client still recommended for monitoring Windows
systems? Is it compatible with Windows Server 2022?
Here is the text I get when I try to start the service from a PowerShell
window run as an administrator.
PS C:\Program Files\Xymon> .\xymonclient.ps1 start

Any ideas?
