probbably something to do with SQL but not sure

Question

Hi,   I'm new to ITA i just installed version 8.0 of ITA and when i perform a discovery for every IP separately everything is fine but when i try one range with a #.#.#.* it stays at 42 % to 43 % for a few(by few i mean somewhere between 2 and 10) minutes and then stops discovering only 2 of the 8 DELL clients I'm trying it on. I installed the SQL server 2005 express that i came with the management station software. During those few minutes if i try to do any settings concerning discovery/inventory i get a message: Error Code 1104  Error Message:Failed to establish connection with the Network Monitoring service   i tried to look for error 1104 on dell with no success but I found error 1104 in SQL is an error saying that the table is too big or something like that Message Edited by Kajanov on 08-25-200609:31 AM

You only have 8 servers. Can you enter an IP discovery range for each of the servers and try to see if it is one particular box that is getting hung up each time?

Is this box up to date with the latest SP's etc, that your "good" boxes are?

Actually i only have one server and some 7 clients (optiplex / latitude)one switch and one printer.   meantime i found out that the switch was the thing which made the error but still don't know how to fix it   Message Edited by Kajanov on 08-30-200602:06 AM

Hmmm...was the switch a Dell PowerConnect switch? What model number? I think only Power Connect are supported.

If you go to the troubleshooting tool and do an SNMP test on the switch, does it respond with a pass?

Yes it is a power connect switch model no.3024 and since today it doesn't respond to the web interface and i don't remember trying troubleshooting tool no the switch because it was the first thing to be discovered by ITA and I still see it on ITA even though its IP isn't in the discovery include range   Well..I found out that the switches IP in fact is in the ITA include range but that doesn't change the fact that the discovery does stop on the swich and that the web interface cannot be launched through ITA only by typing its IP(which is not shown in the ITA). and yes it does pass the SNMP test in the troubleshooting tool Message Edited by Kajanov on 09-04-200602:18 AM
