Windows 2008 (x64) & SQL Tests

Kehama · Post by **Kehama** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 6:08 am

Goodmorning,

We've been testing AHM 7.52 these last few weeks, before going live with it (iow. reporting stats to our bosses).

We set up AHM on Windows 2008 Enterprise 64-bit. The only thing we have problems with so far is the MS SQL tests. I can't seem to get ntwdblib.dll registered, and it doesn't work when I put it in the AHM installation directory. It works fine on my own PC or Windows 2003 machines.

Is this a known limitation ?

We set up AHM on Windows 2008 Enterprise 64-bit.

Officially HostMonitor cannot work on Windows 2008. Please check system requirements

Recommended OS: Windows Server 2003 SP2

However most of Windows Vista/2008 related problems were fixed recently and software works fine... Well, with some exceptions. There is at least one problem remains - Win32 services cannot display anything on desktop on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Recomended workaround - Remote Control Console

I can't seem to get ntwdblib.dll registered

It does not need any special registration. It just should be accessible thru %path% environ variable or located in HostMonitor's or system folder.

and it doesn't work when I put it in the AHM installation directory

Could you please explain what exactly means "doesn't work"? What is the status of the test? Reply field?
What version of this DLL do you use?

Regards
Alex

Alex,

Thank you. I had put the file (2000.80.2187.0) in the program's directory, and that still gave the "ntwdblib.dll cannot be found" error. However, after putting the dll in the system32 and sysWOW64 folders and restarting, everything is working perfectly.
