When Servers Alive is running as a service, all my service/process/diskspace/perfmon checks are showing down, while they are not.

So if you're running Servers Alive as service (using the system account with desktop interaction I would presume), the checks are done using the credentials of the system account.
The system account of host_1 has no rights on host_2 and worse you can't give rights to it. Does this mean that you can't correctly check services/processes/diskspace on remote NT/Win2K systems when Servers Alive runs as a service? No! You can specify a username/password combination for each of the checks. (make sure that if the host you're checking is part of a domain to include the domainname within the username -> domainnameusername)

Now it's being used for the Womens World Cup 99 here in the United States. It's monitoring the machines (ping) and the Sybase SQL Server ports as well as routers. From here in Colorado, I'm able to know what's up or down at 8 cities (40+ hosts/processes), usually before they know it's down."
