release of 1.6.3 & agentd win2000 freeeaddrinfo issue

[cevyn]

Still looking for resolution of issue with zabbix agentd for windows getting freeaddrinfo error on startup on win2000.

Can I run the 1.6.3 agentd with my 1.6 server?
Does the new 1.6.3 agentd resolve the freeaddrinfo error for 2000?

Version 1.6.3 agent started successfully on WINDOWS 2000 Server!

I've been testing the 1.6.3 agent on some of our Windows 2000 servers today and found that although I can now install the agent and start the service, the service crashes instantly.

The following is logged to event logs:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7031
Date: 06/04/2009
Time: 14:33:20
User: N/A
Computer: SYDHYP02-OLD
Description:
The ZABBIX Agent service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action.


And this is logged to zabbix_agentd.log:

296:20090406:143310 zabbix_agentd started. ZABBIX 1.6.3.

3424:20090406:143310 No active checks on server: host [snsmon] not found

I'm going to continue using the 1.4.4 agent on our Windows 2000 servers for the time being as this is working ok for us, but it would be good to get the whole environment up to date...

And

"The ZABBIX Agent service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action."

No error like in 1.6.2 ... it start but he doesn't work !!!

Any idea ???

+1. Getting the "No active checks on server" error here as well on a few hosts right after upgrading the agent to a 1.6 release, has anyone found a solution to this, or perhaps just the reason behind it?
