Note for Windows Vista

PMP Agent has limitations for getting CPU and network usage values in Vista depends on the UAC option.

UAC enabled:
CPU and network usage values are not available to obtain. Disk and memory usage values are available. (When the Agent is started for the first time, all performance data are available. However, in the second running, UAC blocks the CPU and network usage monitoring.)

UAC disabled:
All performance data can be obtained, monitored.

In addition, Agent can't be installed as a service in Vista.

Setup requires the IP address of Admin to communicate. If you are planning to install the Agent to several servers, edit Setup.ini for automatic IP address input.

Server notes are optional for your reference in the Admin program.
