Environment

AppManager 6.0.2
AppManager Operator Console

Microsoft Windows 2003
Microsoft Windows 2000

Situation

When I try to exit, the Operator Console hangs at 20% and I have to stop the netiq.exe task.

Operator Console crashes when I select Objects or Views.

Resolution

This issue was first corrected with the release of Hotfix 51120.  However, hotfix 51120 has been superseeded by Hotfix 70456.

Apply this hotfix to all computers that have the AppManager version 6.0.2 Operator Console installed.

Hotfix 70456 also resolves the issue where the Operator Console became unresponsive when Knowledge Scripts or Knowledge Script Groups are run on a large number of servers. This hotfix improves the Operator Console's performance by updating the search method to search multiple objects simultaneously.

Installing the Hotfix

You must update your Operator Console computers only once. The setup program updates all relevant AppManager components on a computer.
