Products

• IT Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

How can the Resource Monitor tool be used as a troubleshooting step to reveal whether or not a client machine is connecting to the Notification Server (NS) instead of a Site Server?

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Resolution

To view the current connections to the NS:

1. Open Microsoft's Resource Monitor tool
2. Click The Network Tab and go to Network Activity
3. Look for the hostname or IP address of the client machine in the Address column.  If it is not found then the client machine you are looking for is not currently connected to the NS
