TCAdmin Remote Monitor service on Windows 2008 X64

[gandalfof]

Hi, I have setup the master server successfully. The master server is able to communicate to the remote server (version 1.0.3400.26691)without any problem as long as the monitor on the remote server is running under console mode. I made sure to create an exception for tcadmin in the firewall.

 

Each time I shutdown the monitor in console mode and start the TCAdmin Monitor windows service, the master server cannot communicate to the remote monitor anymore. After browsing through the forums, I came accross this thread to use .NetFramework 2.0 on windows 2008 server and made the following changes to the TCAdminConfig.exe.config:

 

<configuration>

<startup>

<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />

<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />

</startup>

 

Still no luck. I would appreciate if any of you bright folks would point me in the right direction to get the TCAdmin remote monitor running as a windows service on a 64 bit Windows 2008 server.

 

 

 

Thanks.

im not under 2008 however a few questions that may lead you somewhere :

 

stupid one : did you allow both monitorconsole.exe AND monitorservice.exe ?

 

Did you try to allow the TCAService to interact with desktop ? go to services.msc then change service properties so it runs under ur admin account and interact with desktop. This way you may be able to see errors else check TCA logs.

It works now . Thanks for your time and help.

i know the topic is old, but could you post here what you did to make it work? (this might be helpfull to others with the same problem)

Would just follow the same steps dimitri said, if your 'interact with desktop' is not checked, check it.

 

If that doesn't work, make sure both monitorconsole.exe and monitorservice.exe are both allowed in the firewall should you have it enabled.

 

Typically this is a permissions issue, as in 08 its works a bit different than in previous versions of MSW.
