Release Notes

• DF551365: Server Administrator does not display the IP Address for Network Adapters that are used for virtual machines
Description: In a Microsoft Hyper-V environment, the Server Administrator Network page may indicate network adapters that are
connected to a network and display Ethernet statistics but, the IP address is displayed as 'Unknown'. This is because Hyper-V virtualizes
adapters that are bonded to its virtual switch. The Server Administrator only discovers physical network adapters and displays their IP
addresses that are fully-controlled by the operating system and not by hypervisors.

Issues of Server Administrator on Microsoft Windows 2008
Operating Systems
• DF103661: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Alert Action > Execute Application
For security reasons, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is congured to not to allow interactive services. When a service is installed as
an interactive service on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the operating system logs an error message in the Windows System log
about the service being marked as an interactive service. When you use Server Administrator to congure Alert Actions for an event,
you can specify the action to execute an application. For interactive applications to be executed properly for an Alert Action, the DSM
Server Administrator Data Manager Service must be congured as an interactive service. Examples of interactive applications comprise
applications with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or that prompt users for input in some way, such as the pause command in a batch
le. When Server Administrator is installed on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service is
installed as a non-interactive service, which means that it is congured for not interacting with the desktop directly. If an interactive
application is executed for an Alert Action in this situation, the application is suspended awaiting input from the user, but the application
interface or prompt is not visible to the user. The application interface or prompt is not visible even after the Interactive Services
Detection service is started. For each execution of the interactive application, there is an entry for the application process in the
Processes tab in Task Manager. If you want to execute an interactive application for an Alert Action on Microsoft Windows Server
2008, you must congure the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service to be allowed to interact with the desktop. To allow
interaction with the desktop, right-click on the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service in the Services control panel and
select Properties. In the Log On tab, enable Allow service to interact with desktop and click OK. Restart the DSM Server
Administrator Data Manager Service for the change to be eective. When the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service is
restarted with this change,the Service Control Manager logs the following message to the System log: The DSM Server Administrator
Data Manager Service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is congured to not allow interactive services.
This service may not function properly.. This change allows the DSM Server Administrator Data Manager Service to execute
