Hi,

I have noticed that I have an alert for all agents saying that start element failed and initialising the communication of port 2 failed. What causes this please?

Thanks,

Paul

The SNMP community strings, if they has not been configured to be something different is often default get ‘public’ and the set is ‘private’ for a device agent. The IP address/host field of the serial connection should be the IP of the computer that you are trying to poll information from with the Microsoft Platform Element.

Thanks Simon, I have no idea why they were blank and how long they have been like that! I have corrected those and hopefully that has fixed the fault.
