Client issues on 9.0.649

(imported topic written by PKLumos)

Ok, I have two different issues I’d like some input on.

First up, I have a machine that simply refuses to talk to the server. Reinstalled, rebooted, etc etc. here’s the log file:

Why is this client showing in “restricted mode”? I have double checked my licensing and are licensed for 1000 Client Devices, and 850 RVU’s with 865 machines reporting. Is the 850 RVU causing this???

2nd machine. Simple issue I hope. Client is installed but will not run. I can reinstall from the deploy tool and it tells me “The Client was installed, but is not currently running.”

Any info on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Nobody?

Been away for a bit :slight_smile:

Anyway. The restricted mode is normal. Well at least I see this on my systems so I will assume it is normal :slight_smile: Is there something that does not seem to be working on that system?

If you try to manually start the service on the second system, do you see an error? Is there anything in the agent log?

Couple things to look at:

  1. Turn on debug logging:

  2. Look at going to 9.0.787 as there were some issues in 649.

    . Not saying that will solve your issue, but that there are issues on 649.
