| I am running HostMonitor 3.50 as a service on Win2000 Server. Creating a UNC disk space test to an NT4 Workstation machince always comes back as UNKNOWN, even if I specify a username that has full rights and a local account on the NT4 machine. I dont want to have to map the drive as I have several NT4 machines and each has several partitions to monitor. |

| Check the eventlog of the remote machine. This will tell you which account is actually used to perform the test. |

Have checked event log on remote machine and nothing logged. For clarity, setup is:
Local user created on the NT4 machine with full rights to all groups. Machine is logged onto the domain.
Fromthe Win2K server I can use explorer and enter \PCNAMEC$ and connect to the C$ admin share no problem and browse the whole disk without error.
I create a UNC test in HostMonitor picking the UNC path as \PCNAMEC$ but I can see that HostMonitor adds a to the end once I click apply. Maybe NT4 does not support this?
If I then additionally add a username and password of either a domain admin account or a local account with full rights on the local NT4 machine I still get same response of 'unknown' (which seems to be that it could not connect or access the NT4 machine.
Doing exactly the same test to a Win2K machine all works well even without specifying a local username or password.
This seems to be same type of issue as reading the eventlog on an NT4 machine where to a Win2K machine is fine.

Have you specified user account on Service page in the Options dialog?

There is a difference between mapping a share and getting information from a share. Adding a slash when not mapping a drive should work.
When not being able to connect to shares, there must be a access violation in the security log. Otherwise you are permitted.
The only other thing I could think of is you have HM running under the system account which is not allowed to perform *any* task outside its own server. In that case you won't reach the remote server, which should explain why there is no security logging. |

Thanks, that was it. Once I added a system account login, everything worked fine.
