It s been reported that SNMP and Console Services failed to start on initial install, so you will have to manually start these, but subsequent reboots should start these services automatically.

13 Upgrade from 3.51 or previous versions: Before Installing Version 4.01 SmartSystems Reporting Services 3.51 will not be functional with SmartSystems Recommendation is to uninstall prior to installing Uninstalling a previous version of SmartSystems will (recommendation is to perform an Upgrade). - Purge any Asset History collected by the current SmartSystems. - The un-install does not remove the licenses that have been added to your console. It just deletes the information that says which devices you have assigned the license to. The license count left on the server is preserved even if you uninstall, then reinstall. However, it s recommended to perform an upgrade rather than un-installing and re-install SmartSystems. - Preserve your Backup Settings. It s also recommended to create a MSI installer for all your backup settings prior to install. To do this, right click your software in the software vault and create SmartSystems bundle. - Make sure to also save off your MSI installers for any custom Software bundles. - Remove custom console settings like Broadcast Interval (automatic discovery). The new default is to have the broadcast interval set to 1 minute. If after an upgrade to 4.01 and SmartSystems fail to start up properly: Symptoms: - When running the console you get a blank screen with no services showing up in the lower left corner. - Some or none of the Services will not start up properly.

(No SSbUser in the screenshot above, but have seen reports of it) Step 5: Reboot Server or PC and install SmartSystems Foundation. Scenario 2: SQL 2005 or 2008 Express installs Step 1: Click Start then go to the Control panel and run Add/Remove programs. If SmartSystems Server is listed uninstall the SS Server. If it s not listed, and you still see the SmartSystems icon in the system tray, or you still see the Intermec SmartSystems services, SmartSystems may have not uninstalled properly.

Step 6: Follow instructions for new SmartSystems Install Other helpful installation tips for trouble-shooting: Install fails if SmartSystems groups already exist on pc: This could affect users on Vista and above. After a SmartSystems install, the Console GUI could not connect to the Console Service. Here is the error that the Console GUI displayed. This problem was due to our WCF URL reservation. The Console Service hosts a WCF web service. In Vista and above, the OS restricts access to the URL of this web service. To address this, we created the SmartSystems Users group, and we have the installer create an http namespace reservation to the URL of the web service for this group. We needed to have a group get the reservation since it seems that only one entity can have the reservation for our URL at a time. The problem occurs when the SmartSystems Users group is deleted. Currently, the URL reservation is still in effect after uninstalling. However, when the group is deleted and recreated, it has a new security identifier (SID). The old reservation is still present but no longer applies to the SmartSystems Users group. The following command below will delete the URL reservation. If the SmartSystems Users group is deleted and recreated after uninstalling SmartSystems, this command should be run: netsh http delete urlacl url= Please also note this command will likely need to run as an administrator.

18 Agent.exe was not marked for installation or isuspm.exe errors: This error causes SmartSystems installation to fail at the last moment, and then failing to write uninstall data to the registry. That is why there is no uninstall option in Add/Remove programs. Please contact product support for documentation on how to recover from this error.
