Questions on NV 6.0.2 on Windows 2000

Hi,

 I am testing NetVIew on Window 2000 platfrom to see how it compares with
the Solaris platfrom.

I have a few questions about the installation as I am having trouble with a
couple of things.

As well as Windows 2000, we also use MS SQL 2000 as the standard database. I
havent found any reference to SQL2000 which could be part of my problem.

1, Terminal Services support.

I notice by its behaviour, and searching through the archives, that the
terminal services functionality is not supported in NetView. Is it likely to
be and any ideas when? (I have since removed Terminal Services)

2, SQL database/NetView account

In trying to use SQL 2000, I keep getting an installation error that NetView
could not set up the databases correctly when it is setting up the ODBC
databases. Initially I thought this was a SQL2000 compatibility issue, but I
notice that the installation always creates a local NetView user on the
machine even when the nvinstall -nu command is given. (preference is to use
a domain account) which I have created and setup in SQL2000 in the
appropriate groups for security. 

I suppose the question here really is, can NetView be installed in this
environment, even if it means a lot of manual tweaking, or should I give up
as it will never work in this version?




Regards
Jeff
