[Xymon] WinPSClient - Client can't get local server name

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Hi everyone,

I have one Win2008 32 bit server that I'm trying to install the WinPSClient on.  When I try to install it I get this:

C:\Program Files\xymon>powershell.exe ./xymonclient.ps1 install
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At C:\Program Files\xymon\xymonclient.ps1:934 char:81
+         if ($script:XymonSettings.clientlower -eq 1) { $clname = $clname.ToLower <<<< () }
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (ToLower:String) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

Service "XymonPSClient" installed successfully!


So I set clientfqdn and clientlower to 0 which eliminated the errors but the Xymon server never shows any information or ghost clients with the server name.  To start troubleshooting I looked at the data file produced by the client and found the server name is missing from the first line produced by the client:

client .powershell powershell XymonPS


It looks like I could define it in the script, but every time the client is updated by the Xymon server it will get overwritten as it doesn't look like there's a way to define it in the config file.

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm not a Windows scripter.
