Hi
No problems on Server 2022 here.
Can you try
Start -> Run -> powershell.exe Unblock-File "c:\program files\xymon\xymonclient.ps1"
And try again?
Thanks
Zak

External email. Inspect before opening any links or attachments.
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?
