Q.
Do you know why certain servers do not show status in the multiple server health monitor (NetWare Remote Manager)? We are able to get status (red, yellow, and green) on only about half the servers we monitor through NetWare Remote Manager.

Dear Not Seeing: If I had to venture a guess, I'd start by checking the SLP configuration. I suspect that it can't resolve some of the servers it needs to monitor. Lacking that, parform a view source on the multi- server health page in NetWare Remote Manager. Perhaps the ones that are not showing up have bad DNS or IP information on the page.
For multiple server health monitoring, I am kind of partial to another solution called NWSYSMON.EXE found at http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~micro/. OK, so it is a Win32-specific solution, but what do you expect for free?
