I have to say installing BBwin was as easy. I just followed the direction in http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/ for V4.2. I guess it would have been easier if I was running V4.3. I had to tweak the BBwin.cfg file but again nothing major.
One thing that made it easier for me is that I have cygwin installed on my W2K3 client. The BBWin.cfg and the tmp/msg. files are not very readable with notepad and so I just used the UNIX vi and did all my work within cygwin window.
Again the only problem that I had was not finding information on the format of the SVC line for hobbit-client.cfg and this seems to be resolved in V4.3
Thanks again.
Robert

I guess it would be helpful if there was a one stop wiki article on how to setup centralized mode for BBwin and hobbit. I'm planning to do the same thing once my workload is lightened, but I want more information on configuration before I start messing around with this stuff. Anyone have a suggestion? I might solve a lot of questions if there was examples on this.

I was looking thought the hobbit archives and came across an example of how to setup hobbit-client.cfg to monitor the svcs. I have look through the documentation, BBWin forum, and the hobbit archive and found only one reference. So here is what I found and it seems to work.
SVC AGDIGESTSVC startup=automatic status=started color=red
If someone can tell me where I can get more information or documentation on the SVC it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all your help.

Robert, I don't do anything on the server side. BBWin just sends its stuff to the server and the server reports on it.
