210.0. "NTS 4.0 SP2 w/ ServerWORKS 2.0" by ZPOVC::MONTYWONG () Wed Feb 12 1997 11:41

    Hi,
    
    Tried to install Serverwork 2.0 and manageworks to NT Server 4.0 with
    service pack 2, serverworks/manageworks snmp reports with error during
    start up.
    
    I have no problem with NTS 4.0 (w/o SP).
    
    Understand that NTS 4.0 SP2 creates tons of problems, but what is the
    workaround with serverworks?
    
    Regards.

	That's news.  I have been running NTS 4.0 SP2 on several systems
	without any problems.  I did have some problems with an earlier
	version of ServerWorks not working correctly with SNMP, but that
	was corrected by copying some files.

	The best thing to do is to get V2.2 of ServerWorks and ManageWorks.
	Again, I have installed both of these on NTS 4.0 SP2 systems with
	no problems.  You don't want to work with the older versions of 
	the xxxxWorks products when the new ones are available.

	If you apply the service pack to a system with the Serverworks
	agents installed, it seems you have to reinstall the agents.
	If you do that everything is oke again.

210.3NTS40+SP2+SNMP then SP2 again!ZPOVC::MONTYWONGFri Feb 14 1997 22:1220
    Hi, 
    
    Thanks for the reply.
    
    I have NTS4.0+SP2+Cluster1.1Beta setup and after the installation, I
    realized that I forgot to install SNMP. I then tried to install the
    Sworks agent. Of course, it prompt me for not having the SNMP service.
    
    Then, I quit Sworks and go install SNMP service to NTS 4.0, and after
    reboot, NT reports with an error ......
    
    Finally, I have to re-apply the SP2 again, then the Sworks agent, and
    re-install Cluster 1.1beta. Now things work pretty good.
    
    I think the trick is, if you install any TCP, IIS services AFTER you
    applied the Service Pack, you have to re-apply the SP AGAIN!
    
    What a procedure!
    
    Now everything works ok! Thanks.

    Hi Monty,
    
    I believe if you add _any_ components that are normally part of the
    base O.S., you have to reapply the service packs.  I think the service
    pack instructions are pretty clear on that point.
    
    Cheers,
