"cannot open database" in R6 (Updated)

Hi,

There is one more thing I forget to mention. Server A is R6, but the other one, Server B is R5. Is that the reason??

I have a problem with my agent. I need to access DBs in different servers and reference some data. R6 allows agents to do so, I know. However, our administrator enable Trusted Server, but it is not working. My agent still has met this kind of problem. Our administrator and I are kind of new in R6, so if any one knows the solution, please tell me… Thank you…

“You have found the problem. Both Servers must be R6 for this to work.”

I have found that statement to be false. I have an agent that runs on an R6.5 server that accesses the log databases on servers running R5.

I, though, have a similar issue.

Scenario:

Agent X runs scheduled on Server A. Server A is 6.5.1. It goes out to Servers A, B, C, and D and opens the log.nsf files off these servers to gather information.

Server A is R6.5.1. Server B is R6.5.1. Server C is R5. Server D is R5.

The agent functions find on A and C, but returns the “trusted server” error listed above on B and D.

On ALL 4 servers’ Security tabs, the “Trusted Servers” field is blank. LocalDomainServers are in the agent security fiels of all servers. In fact, Security is exactly the same across all 4 servers.

Boggling.
