WARNING - HP Mediasmart

I've had two reports of HP Mediasmart servers going into continuous reboot cycles and effectively hosing the server when this Add-In is installed.  I have no idea what is going on here and the issue, after 1800 downloads, seems to be isolated to this SKU.

If you have seen this issue, pls let me know.  I would like to get to the bottom of it.

Tread carefully if you own a Mediasmart.

Version 1.1.1.0 - Dec 1, 2007

Minor fix to bug where usseSMTPAuth and useSSL were not being rendered correctly

Version 1.1.0.0 - Nov 04, 2007

Some big changes this time:

Bugs:

  • The UI now scans the available Event Logs as opposed to hard-coding what I think you have - David
  • Fixed race sending multiple message at the same time - Andrew.
    This was nasty!!!  I'm not 100% sure I've nailed it.  Pls let me know if you see problems.
  • Fixed the SMTP No-Auth problem (Yet again).  For real this time, I promise - David
  • I now start the service automagically on install.  If there is no config, it will fail but will restart when a new config is saved from the UI.

New stuff:

  • WHSEventMonitor_Readme.htm now drops in WHS dir and in WHS Event Monitor dir under PFiles.
  • I've added a tool (EventGenerator.exe) that will allow you to test your rules.  It drops in the WHS Event Monitor dir under PFiles.  Yes, I know I've hard coded "Event Generator" as the source of the events and yes I know that the actual source I use is "Event Generator:x" where x is the index of the log you are sending to.  There are some very good reasons for this all of which have to do with not messing up your machine.  I'll explain more if you like but I expect you don't.
  • Regardless of what I do, the FIRST event fired by the EventGenerator will register to the EventLog but will NOT be processed by the WHS Event Monitor.  I have no idea why, and have spent too much time trying to understand the issue, so I've decided to declare it (in MSFT talk) "By Design". 
  • PDBs are now dropped so I can better get a handle on issues when they arise.

Version 1.0.2.0 - Nov 02, 2007

Bug Fixes based on user feedback

        I cannot test this on my hosting service so pls let me know if it works.
