Ok i tred that and I get cannot connect to DB. Maybe that is not what you meant.

Basically:

First row of servers to be monitored is all filled out with my sqlexpress instance, and all. It takes fine.

I add a second row of another server, and i get the error. It doesnt matter if I enter a DBInstanceName (Which i assume would only be the same as the first) or not.

So are you saying for the second server monitored, i leave the SQL part blank?

Are you trying to run two instances of the service? It just needs to connect to the first server where it has the webserverfarmmanager db created to read the settings specific to your case. Once its connected you dont need to change the server name. Just provide all the servers you add monitored and start the service. The connection string is ONLY FOR FIRST TIME run when you are trying to connect to the settings database.

Yes, as of now it does not support IIS6. I am in the process of adding that support. You just have to make changes to syncmanager.cs in the webserverwatcherfarmsvc and it should work. If you wish you can get the source and do that.

Did you set DoWatch to true on all servers? Did you restart the service after adding the servers? What does it show on the log messages pane?

Did you update the connection string in the Administration pane of the GUI and save?

You should be able to use SQL Cluster but for this you have to provide the appropriate connection string in the UI and save the configuration. For cluster connection strings you can see this blog: blogs.msdn.com/.../unable-to-connect-to-a-sql-server-named-instance-on-a-cluster.aspx

Is it possible to use a SQL cluster instead of the SQL Express for the primary servers database?

That is an old one. Why dont you get the latest source and the binaries that I have uploaded. That will make it much easier to work with and see the progress logs, etc all in one place.
