I purchased a SQL license, however I have found if you use MSDE it is
much easier to get tech support. Currently we are using MSDE, I plan on
doing a reload using the typical install.

Thanks for this post Trevor.
As a matter of interest, is your Rapport Database SQL or MSDE ?

The installation worked without manual tweaking and multiple
re-installs which is a welcome change. Unfortunately there is still no
Server 2003 support, the latest O/S you can reliably run Rapport on is
still Server 2000. Rapport does support Windows XP, however it doesn't
work reliably because of the 10 concurrent TCP connection limitation in
the O/S.
The auto configuration of FTP server still gives anonymous users
write access to the FTP server, so you will still need to ensure that
you lock down the server after the installation is finished.
Device discovery greatly improved with IP range walking and a
new dialog box that includes a progress bar and more information about
the status of the device discovery. The product itself seems much more
solid, there is less flickering and redrawing when switching between
management screens.
I will be testing the multiple device update capabilities later
and let you all know how it goes, the release notes state that the FTP
transfer reliability has been improved and I really want to see if they
have fixed this problem. In addition I am curious if they have fixed
the CE device configuration bugs.
So far it looks like there has been huge improvement in terms of
the reliability of the product.
Trevor.
