Remote Server Setup issue I uncovered


Tags :


I speak highly of Remote Server Setup.  I have even found how it does partitions and an undocumented tip on how to adjust the port if there is firewall issues.  This was a new one I found today.

I was setting up a 6.5.4 server and turned on the listener for the remote setup.  I then went to my local 7.0.1 client and started the remote setup client.  Part of the way through I noticed that while customizing the server tasks, there was some 7.x info in there.  Specifically the RnRMgr came to notice in the list.  I left it checked for grins figuring it would have no bearing.

I was wrong.  It actually did add it to the notes.ini  servertasks= line and attempted to start the task when the server first launched.  No big deal, it simply said it could not find the task and went on it's way.  But I am thinking this is not a good thing overall.  I will search some docs and see if I can find it.  But no luck so far.
