Thanks for the heads up on that one Andrew...Got a 4.5 install to do next
week.

To automate the the registry change use SetACL.exe, and to automate the
DCOM change use DCOMperm.exe. I have an example here, as Conf Manager 4.0
had the same problems:

As an addition for 4.5 I have come across this:

which is going to be a pain for the client’s automated deployments L

I think the problem with vendors who advocate using SQL is that they don’t
think through the implications of their ‘user’ and setup functions. Imo the
installation instructions pretty much come from the developer straight to
you, and sadly no developer is going to faff about getting the security
settings locked down which is dull and tedious when he can be messing about
having fun getting the alarms to go ‘ping’ in 14 different tones and add an
asteroids easter egg to a hidden sub menu.

<slaps head> and ... Systrack was another that I’ve used in the past – they
originally wrote the RM component. Although it looked a little dated when I
last installed it Systrack is a good solid product with a  lot of reports
which are very useful out of the box; black box recording is pretty neat .
Good price point as well iirc .. Obviously worth adding to an eval list.

Thanks Andrew

Deployed with 2000 SQL with difficulty. Our internal standards for SQL 2005
is 64 bit and didn’t have a dev box capable of this.  Does not seem a grown
up product just yet and the security standards meant a few headaches.  Why
is it that vendors love you to use SA or admin rights?

Believe it was 4.5 we deployed for eval.

Interestingly enough I had a phone call from a vendor after this.
Mentioned your name I believe....Wasn’t one of the ones you listed
below....

Use 2005 rather than 2000 for the SQL back end; If you are going to use
2005 Express edition (as its an eval) be aware there is no scheduling
component so the scheduling in, and you’ll have to hand edit some config
files to get the sql reporting to work.

Bear in mind that 4.5 is out now.

Its pretty impressive stuff – but if I was doing an eval I’d also look at
the likes at RTO’s PinPoint if you’re a small/medium sized organisation –
or EG Enterprise Suite and Performance guard from primetech if you’re a
medium/large.

Is anyone using Edgesight?

What do you think of it.  Is it any good?  Doing an Evaluation and not
terrible impressed so far.  Wondered what other people thought.
