Hi Tony,<br><br>I'm in debt with you. Sorry to postpone my feedback of the version of NC_Net that you've sent to me for testing.<br><br>Well, after a painless but full of workload setup of my company's Exchange2007 platform, NC_Net was deployed gracefully, a drop-in replacement for the already configured checks of this class of hosts, and we're at the road to implement new monitoring solutions with your advanced WMI queries interface. Not a thing to complain about it, running perfectly stable so far. <br>
<br>Thank you very much for NC_Net, I'll send you a postcard if you'd like, unfortunatelly, that is the only way I could spend of my own to thank you (I do not have the power to send you donations in behalf of the company I work for, nor on my own behalf as a Jr. sysadmin in Brazil ;). <br>
<br>Well, I'll send updates on list informing the development of the new checks that will come up using WMI. <br><br>Thank you again. <br>Marcel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 9:38 PM, Anthony Montibello <<a href="mailto:amontibello@gmail.com">amontibello@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
