Hi Jens,
Are your PRTG server and the computers you try to querie in the same domain, or
are you using workgroups?

Hi Gerard,
sorry for posting my question in german....
Yes, the computers are in the same domain.
Would it also be possible to check the update status across different domains?
Would be great, becaus we monitor most of our customers networks without a
remote probe.
Regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
das ist kein Problem.
Cross domain checking will unfortunately not work.
The user impersonation is done on the probe where the .exe runs so the
credentials must be valid there. As these credentials are also used on the
machine that is queried, they must be valid there also.
Regards,
Gerard

Sry, forgot to answer.
That cross-domain checkig is impossible is no problem now as Paessler removed
the remote probe licensing limit.
But checking in the same domain never worked for my systems. Tried it with
different servers, domains and customers.

Jens

Finally found it. Thank you Mathias for pointing me in the right direction!
The error says it all: "Der Dienst Remote Registry ...".
In the German OS there is no "Remote Registry" service, as it is called
"Remote-Registrierungsdienst" :-(
I added an extra optional parameter to the sensor [-s=service name] in version
8.0.2 to overcome this issue. By default the sensor will use "Remote Registry",
but for localization purposes it can be changed using the -s= parameter.
Please note that if the service name contains spaces it has to be entered as
-s="my service name"
Regards,
Gerard

Thanks Gerard!
Now it works!

Damn, now there is a new problem :-(
If the sensor checks a local probe, then it works fine. But if i want to check
another PC in the network of the probe, i get the error message: "Der
Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt."
I know that it is now problem with the login. I tried it with a wrong password
and the specific Wrong-Password-massage appears!
I hope that there is a solution too!
Regards,
Mathias

Hi Mathias,
Can you please test this version for me. If will write the error to a file
called debug.txt file. Please let me know the contents of this file and the
parameters you used running the sensor.

Same problem & error here, but only when checking version 2008 servers. Windows
Server 2003 works fine!

I added some more debug info in version 8.0.2.3
Could you try once more?

For sure!
But the debug-output is merely the same:

Are you sure that you are using 8.0.2.3, or has your browser cache presented
you with 8.0.2.2 again ;-)

It crashes when opening registry key
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\Results\Install" where it tries to read the value of the
"LastSuccessTime".
Is this a non existing key/value on your OS? If so, what should it be?

This means that it cannot find the registry key on the specified computer.

Version 8.0.3 is now available for public download.
In this version the System.NullReferenceException is replaced by a more
explaining error message.
