Hi there,
I'm attempting to get VAMT 3.0 to work properly in my particular network setup. I've installed VAMT 3.0 on my Windows SBS 2011 server. I can add computers to the Products list (using the Discover Products dialog/Search for computers in the Active Directory => VAMT successfully detected x computers and added it to the products list), but attempting to update license status will have the following behaviours:
- The local computer (SBS server) will work correctly.
- All other clients will disappear from the Collecting Product Information dialog (leaving only my server.) Even with client computers online, the dialog will state "Completed 1 of 7", "Succeeded 1 of 1", "Failed 0 of 1". I do not know why this is inconsistent.
- Clicking Close to dismiss the Collecting Product Information dialog will bring me back to the product window. The number of clients I have now fall to 2: the server which successfully verified; and one other client (seems to be the first in the list before). Online computers also disappear from the list.
Adding product keys would give me an error dialog indicating that "String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated." Hitting OK gives me the "x product keys were successfully verified and added to VAMT" but after dismissing the
dialog the Product Keys pane is still empty. This seems like a database issue, and I've tried modifying the database to increase the length of the product key columns to no effect (I then just reset the database again before testing again to prevent other
unforeseen effects).
So, as it stands, VAMT 3.0 is a no-op (albeit a big one!) for me. I've tried reinstalling VAMT, reinstalling the database instance (2008 R2 SP2 Express), deleting and re-creating the database, all to no avail. The computers which are online are reachable across TCP port 135.
Any pointers please? If this is the wrong forum, please redirect me to the appropriate place.
Thanks!
Joel
