Older versions of software: CWSI Campus Ver. 2.4 and RME Ver. 2.2.

I have installed CW2K on NT 4.0 workstation with SP4 (this versions do not accept SP6). It has the older versions of software: CWSI Campus Ver. 2.4 and RME Ver. 2.2. When I try to start RME from browser (IE Explorer 5.5), I get an error: "Invalid server response". What could cause this error ?

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to run this versions of CW2K on Windows 2000 ?

Due to budget shortfall in our school district we cannot upgrade this product or buy a newer version of it.

I would appreciate any suggestions,

- RME 2.2/CWSI 2.4 does not support Windows 2000. You need to upgrade to RME 3.2 or later which supports both Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 with SP6a.

- IE 5.5 is not the supported web browser version with RME 2.2/CWSI 2.4. You need to use IE 4.01 with Service Pack 1 (without Active Desktop).

- You must log in as an Administrator local to the machine (no pseudo user or admin equivalent login)when installing the RME/CWSI.

- Do not build as a Primary Domain Controller.

- Do not build as a Backup Domain Controller.

- Do not build as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client.

Thank you for response. I tried all this and still getting the same message upon login: "Invalid response from server". I have a feeling that this has something to do with Personal Web Server's Microsoft Management Console configuration and setup. The Personal Web Manager icon in the system tray has red checkmark on it and this is because the default web site that comes with the Personal Web manager is not running. The one that is on is the site created by RME install and this one may need to be the default site. Is this makes sense ?

Please advise,

Thanks again,

The old RME/CWSI 2.x uses MS-IIS and that is something that need to be separately installed and configured, other wise RME may not work properly. See if the following helps:

RME/CWSI is running on Windows NT 4.0 workstation and I thought that MS-IIS can only be installed on NT server. When I try to run install again from Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, it only shows Personal Web Server and not IIS.

Do I need to look for another source to install IIS from ?

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/Campus/33.shtml should help you with the install procedure on NT Workstation,.

If you are still having problems and have it up and running on the correct web server, are you entering the url "http://servername:1741". 1741 is the default port that Ciscoworks runs on so the browser won't find it at port 80 like normal services.

I ran the older version her for quite awhile. I got it to work with the IE 5.5 browser except that it would clip the end of some reports and some configurations. I loaded netscape navigator 4.7 to get around this problem. It worked pretty well.
