Welcome to InTrust

Quest® InTrust™ delivers an enterprise-scale event log management solution for multi-location heterogeneous environments.

 


New in This Release

New Features introduced in InTrust 10.1 are:

Support for Microsoft Audit Collection Services

Organizations where Microsoft Audit Collection Services (ACS) is deployed can now gain additional value by using InTrust to do the following:

Report Pack for the Operations Manager Console

The new report pack called Quest InTrust for ACS Reports enriches native reporting with reports on consolidated data collected by InTrust. The reports are accessible from the Operations Manager Console.

SQL Server 2008 Support

InTrust configuration, audit and alert databases can now be hosted on SQL Server 2008; InTrust reports work with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services.

Support for Quest Knowledge Portal 2.0

This version of InTrust ships with Quest Knowledge Portal 2.0, which provides improved report, folder and data source management capabilities. This version of Knowledge Portal can work with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services and use data sources represented by SQL Server 2008 databases.

Repository Enhancements

Repositories now support multiple simultaneous connections by gathering, consolidation and import jobs. Only one job at a time can write to a repository, but this does not prevent repository access for jobs that require only read access. The benefit is fewer restrictions when scheduling InTrust workflows that need to access the repository.

Scripted Site Enumeration

You can dynamically specify the computers in a site using the new type of site object called Enumeration Script. This feature lets you implement custom site enumeration logic in an ECMAScript.

Updated Report Pack for ActiveRoles Server

The updated "All activity within and outside of ActiveRoles Server" report in the Report Pack for ActiveRoles Server supplants the following three reports from the previous versions: 

This report features more meaningful event names and better filtering options.


Resolved Issues and Enhancements

The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Quest® InTrust™.

 

Feature

Resolved Issue

Change Request

Gathering Audit data is gathered from every instance of an object contained in the InTrust site. If a computer is included into a site, for example, as an IP address and as an FQDN name, it will be processed twice. CR0117150
Make sure not to create gathering policies with identical names. InTrust allows you to do so, but this will result in unpredictable problems in the product's operation. CR0115584
InTrust does not collect DHCP Server logs from machines running 64-bit Windows operating system. ST55724
Real-Time Monitoring Make sure to always have at least one account listed in either Alert Managers or Alert Readers pane for every Alerting Profile (InTrust Monitoring Console, Administration page, Roles tab). Any user will receive the Access denied error at an attempt to view alerts using the Alerting Profile with no account listed on the Roles tab of the Administration page. Access to the Database properties and the Users tab on the Administration page of the Monitoring Console will also result in errors. CR0121647
After an upgrade of one server in a multi-server InTrust Organization, Data Sources introduced in the new version of InTrust become available to InTrust users who create real-time monitoring rules on InTrust Servers of earlier versions in the same Organizations with instances of InTrust Manger connected to InTrust Servers that are not upgraded yet. Do not use Data Sources introduced in the new version of InTrust in any policies you create on InTrust Servers that are not upgraded. On the upgraded Server(s), don't assign any jobs that use those Data Sources to InTrust Servers that are not upgraded, and neither apply monitoring policies based on those Data Sources to InTrust Sites processed by InTrust Servers that are not upgraded. CR0153987

Known Issues

The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of InTrust release.

Feature/comment

Issue description

Defect ID

Setup You may receive the following error when running InTrust server setup in the Repair mode:

"Error: 0x80004005. Cannot configure default Audit Database."

To work around this problem, you can do one of the following:

  1. Use the adcorgpwd.exe tool to temporarily set InTrust organization password to empty string before you start repairing the InTrust Server installation. When setup finishes successfully, set the organization password back to what you want it to be.
  2. Start InTrust Server setup from the command prompt, using the following command line:
    msiexec.exe /i ADSRV.msi /f ADC_ORGANIZATION_PASSWORD="your_organization_password"

  3. When the error message pops up, click the Ignore button and let the setup application run to the end. Then connect to the SQL Server hosting the InTrust Default Audit Database and manually run the auditdb.sql SQL script from the <InTrust_DVD_root>\Scripts\Database Scripts folder. Note that for this operation you should use an account with the database owner level of access to that database.
ST56734
You will have to log off and log on again once you have installed InTrust Manager to a location other than default. Otherwise, the InTrust Manager shortcut will not work. CR0112449
If you have used the Add/Remove Programs dialog to uninstall InTrust, you will get the Modify/Repair/Remove dialog next time you launch InTrust setup from the CD.
Click Remove and wait until setup finishes, then run setup again.
CR0112184
The Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server service may not be able to start after installation. Setup will display the following error:

Error 214750037 (unspecified error).

Event ID 8202 is also written to the InTrust event log.
Restarting the computer resolves the issue.
CR0115384
You may get the following error while trying to install InTrust:

Cannot grant the following privileges:
Back up files and directories
Log on as a service
to <account_name>
Your Group Policy settings may be preventing setup from granting the privileges specified.

There must exist a Group Policy that controls the assignment of the specified privilege(s) in your environment. InTrust setup can neither override it nor check if the account inherits the required privilege(s) from a security group the policy applies to. Make sure the policy grants the specified privilege(s) to InTrust service account, either directly or through its membership in a security group, and click the Ignore button in the error dialog to proceed with the installation.
CR0112303
InTrust Monitoring Web Portal and InTrust Reporting Web Portal cannot be installed into a Virtual Directory with special characters (like !#$%^&()_+|][}{;,-=`~) in the name. An attempt to do so results in the following setup error:

Cannot configure Active Directory object 'VD_ITWEB'. Error -2147463168 E_ADS_BAD_PATHNAME.

CR0117312
If you receive the following error while upgrading an InTrust Server:

Error Code: 1603 Fatal error during installation.

First of all, check if all of the InTrust Server services have been stopped. Most often, it is Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server service that takes long to stop and causes the setup to fail with this error. If this is the case, quit the setup, make sure all of the Quest InTrust services have stopped and run the setup again.
CR0122748
If you receive the following error at InTrust setup:

Cannot configure default Audit Database. Error code: 0x80004005. Property value is invalid. Make sure the value is typed correctly. Unspecified error Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done. Property value is invalid. Make sure the value is typed correctly.

check if you have specified a database with a name that starts with a numeric character (0-9) as either Audit or Alert database.

The names of all InTrust Audit and Alert databases must start with an alphabetic character (a-z, A-Z).

CR0122347, ST54080
On the Select Features step, InTrust setup wizard displays the required disk space only for the features you select in the tree. There are, however, some features required by those listed in the tree but not shown there because they are not user-selectable. Those 'hidden' features affect disk space requirements too. Click the Disk Cost button to see the more accurate numbers for required disk space calculated with regards to the features not displayed in the tree. CR0112182, CR0112212
During InTrust setup, you may receive an error message stating that one or more specific privileges required for the InTrust Server service account cannot be granted to it because assignment of those privileges is controlled by a Group Policy. There is no way for the InTrust setup to check whether a Group Policy actually grants the specified privileges to the service account as a member of a group. If you receive this error message, verify that a Group Policy does grant the privileges and then click the Ignore button in the error message to proceed with the installation. CR0112218
When InTrust installation fails and is rolled back, some registry keys it has created are not removed. This is controlled by the Microsoft Installer and cannot be handled from the InTrust setup code. CR0112227
When you are running the configdb.sql SQL script on a pre-created InTrust configuration database to provide for not giving InTrust service account the database owner right for it, you may receive warnings like the following:

Cannot add rows to sysdepends for the current stored procedure because it depends on the missing object 'dbo.ITRTProcessingRule_change'.

These warnings may be ignored since they do not indicate of any problems that may affect the future InTrust operation.
CR0152107
Don't specify any existing Quest Active Roles Server database as the InTrust configuration database, since these two products have incompatible requirements to the system configurations of their databases. CR0153990
Components and configuration objects added to an existing InTrust installation by installing an individual Knowledge Pack cannot be consistently removed from InTrust by deselecting the related nodes on the 'Select Features' step of the Installation Wizard. CR0153504
A path to the default repository is saved for the whole InTrust Organization when the first InTrust Server in that organization is installed, and defaults to a folder on that InTrust Server's computer local hard disk. Every InTrust Server in the organization uses this parameter 'as is' and treats it as a local path on its computer, which may be resolved to a location where no valid repository exists. If this is not the case, every gathering job configured to store data to a default repository actually stores it to a local disk on the computer of InTrust Server that processes the job. This may result in storing data at unexpected location. To avoid this, don't use the Default Repository predefined object in any gathering, import and consolidation jobs you set up. Instead, make copies of it with the Quest InTrust Manager snap-in, make the changes to the repository name, location, etc. if necessary, and always provide a name of an edited copy of a repository object when you configure a job. CR0151260
When you install InTrust or upgrade it from an earlier version, you may receive the following error message:

Error 1335. The cabinet file '<cab_file_name>' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

One of the recommendations you can find in the Microsoft KB article 314810 must help you resolve this problem. The article describes a similar problem with MS Office installation and the resolutions it provides has proved to work for InTrust installation.
CR0156239
If you have individual InTrust component(s) installed on a computer to a non-default path, be sure to not use the InTrust Suite setup to add other InTrust components to that machine. Install additional InTrust components by running their individual setup (.MSI) packages from the product DVD instead. This will let you avoid problems at both installation and uninstallation of those components in the future. CR0184325
When you change the installation path for the InTrust Server node of the feature tree (on the Select Features step of the Quest InTrust Setup wizard), installation paths for features down the tree is changed accordingly so that individual InTrust components are installed to subfolders of the folder you specify for InTrust Server. Note that this, however, does not apply to the InTrust Knowledge Portal component which does not inherit its installation path from the InTrust Server component and requires that you explicitly change the installation path if you need that. CR0190311
It is recommended that you install the same set of InTrust components on all InTrust Servers in an InTrust Organization. Otherwise, you may have problems, for example, when switching the server that runs a task. CR0149166
When you install a report pack and the SQL Server hosting its target database does not have SQL Server Agent running, you may receive the following warning, sometimes followed by an error dialog with the same text:

Cannot upload report pack: For Temporary Tables Clean-Up job
schedule to be applied, make sure that:
1. Authentication method for database access uses the explicitly specified credentials which are stored in the data source (either SQL Server authentication, or Windows authentication). If Integrated Windows authentication i...

When you click OK in this dialog, another error message may be displayed asking you if you want to continue with the setup. Click No and wait for the setup application to prompt you with the options to Retry, Ignore or Abort the installation. When prompted, select Retry. From this point on, the installation of the report pack is expected to run smoothly.

ST41900
Upgrade
After you upgrade your InTrust organization from version 9.6, some of your existing real-time monitoring rules triggered by events generated by script based event providers may stop working. This may happen to a rule that has the data source name specified as one of the rule parameters. To make such a rule work again, you should edit it to expect the actual log name (as specified in the data source Properties) instead of the text string "Script" as a value of this parameter. ST57972
When you upgrade an existing installation of InTrust under an account that doesn't have DBO access rights to the InTrust configuration database, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot uninstall CI packages. Error code: 0x80004005. Cannot parse ADCClassInventory query. Error of opening file.

Click OK and continue. This error does not affect the results of the upgrade.
CR0156311
At an upgrade of an InTrust Server in a multiserver InTrust organization, you may receive a misleading error message:

You are about to remove an InTrust server from an InTrust organization. Any jobs configured to run on this server must be manually transferred to another live server in the same organization.

It is safe to ignore this error. Click OK and continue upgrading.

ST55161
General You may receive the "Demo license exceeded" error at InTrust gatherings when if you have a time limited demo license installed, and no license count limit is actually violated. If this happens, reset the license count manually. ST56154
Two InTrust Servers cannot concurrently process each other using agents. CR0115565
You may not be able to log on interactively to a computer where InTrust Server is installed, if the InTrust Configuration database went offline while restarting the computer. Wait until the database goes back online or for about 5 minutes, then try logging on again. CR0115564
Don't delete the Default configuration objects (Default databases, repositories, operators, etc.) even if you never use them in InTrust sites, policies etc. Other predefined objects may have references to the Default objects by default, which may result in hard-to-find errors if referenced objects no longer exist in your InTrust configuration database. Note that the deleted predefined configuration objects are not recreated at InTrust upgrades or reinstallations, some of them causing errors at the setup phase if missing from the configuration database.

The recommended practice is to keep default configuration objects as templates for the custom ones you create for the routine use.

CR0122083,

CR0122368

If two operator records with the same computer name exist in the InTrust configuration and both are specified as operators to notify, then two NET SEND notifications are sent to that one computer. CR0112241
When you manually stop the Quest InTrust Server service, check the state of its dependent services (Quest InTrust Agent and Quest InTrust Agent Installer) while it is being stopped. If stopping the Quest InTrust Service takes a considerable time, its dependent services may be restarted and will have to be stopped manually. This behavior of dependent services may also prevent the Quest InTrust Server service itself from being stopped successfully, and you will have to manually terminate its process in Windows Task Manager. CR0114810
When you restart InTrust services on an InTrust Server serving a large number of agents, real-time monitoring and gathering may require a few minutes to start working again after the services are started. CR0114831
If you attempt to start Quest InTrust Server or Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server service and receive the error 'Unspecified error', in most cases this means that the license related to this service has expired. Look in the InTrust event log on the InTrust Server machine for a more detailed description of the error. CR0115601
If there is an e-mail notification configured to be sent to multiple Operators and InTrust fails to send it to one Operator, for example because of an invalid e-mail address, the notification isn't sent to the other Operators on the list either. CR0151967
You may receive the following error message when you try to view the details of a specific license in the Installed Licenses dialog: 'Error 0x00004655: Cannot open dialog. Reason: 0x839C0002: Unknown error: 0x839C002'. This happens when you try to view details of a license that has expired. CR0151964
When the system time is set back on an InTrust Server computer or on a computer with InTrust agent running, InTrust agent-server operation may become unstable or even broken. It is recommended to restart InTrust services (either Quest InTrust Server or Quest InTrust Agent) on the computer after setting the system time back on it. Automatic time adjustment for daylight savings does not produce this effect on InTrust and does not require restarting any InTrust services. CR0145993
The following error message logged to the session results of an InTrust task may indicate of a frequent changes in the system time on the InTrust Server computer:

Error: 0x80040e2f Cannot initialize the required component. Cannot initialize session. Sessions Error- The statement has been terminated. Sql State: 01000 Native Error Code: 3621 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_ITGSessionsInfo'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.ITGSessionInfo'. Sql State: 23000 Native Error Code: 2627 , !! IDispatch error #3119

This may be happening because of some problems with hardware or operating system, frequent time synchronizations with multiple hosts on the network or some other reason.
CR0155892
If an InTrust Site includes an AD site that has subnets misconfigured, InTrust may try processing, when monitoring or gathering from this InTrust Site, a lot of unrelated computers or even all computers in the Domain(s) that the AD site spans. CR0130865
You may be confused with events you may find in the InTrust event log on the InTrust Server computer stating that a job has completed with error and providing an error code without any error description. These events don't signal of any problem and may be ignored. They are logged to the InTrust event log in order to have process exit codes for InTrust jobs saved for the purpose of possible troubleshooting. CR0155885
When you edit filters in data sources for IIS logs, ISAS logs, DHCP logs and Exchange events, and you want to use filtering by empty string value, specify empty strings. To do it, leave the text box in the Add/Edit String dialog box empty and click OK. CR0146236
Quest InTrust Manager Computers added to an InTrust site by their NetBIOS names may be listed under the Agents node in InTrust Manager by their NetBIOS names, not by their FQDNs as might be expected. CR0111184
The lists of available InTrust Servers in an organization may differ depending on whether or not InTrust Manager is installed on the same computer as InTrust Server. The RPC Locator service should be enabled on the InTrust Manager computer where InTrust Server is not installed for correct results.

A specific InTrust Server may be also not visible as available for connection with InTrust Manager if it fails to publish itself in Active Directory (AD). This may happen if the Quest InTrust Server service does not have sufficient rights (see Quest InTrust - System Requirements document for details) to create a Service Connection Point (SCP) in AD. Check events logs, starting with the InTrust log, on the InTrust Manager and InTrust Server machines for events looking related to possible problem with the RPC Locator service and creating an SCP in AD, respectively. 

Besides, if you know that a specific InTrust Server is available, you can connect to it by specifying it manually, whether or not it is on the list.

CR0144041
If an InTrust task has the starting date in its schedule set to some day before the date when the system switches to the daylight-saving time, it will begin starting one hour later than the start time specified in its schedule when the system switches to DST. A task with its starting date in the DST period starts one hour earlier than specified in the properties of its schedule when the system switches to the standard time. When the time is adjusted back, the actual local time the task starts at will match its start time specified in its schedule again. CR0154835
You may receive the following error:

Internet Explorer Script Error: 'm_idBaloon.style' is null or not an object

when you have the Quick Start node selected in the left pane and click the right pane. You must be clicking there too early. Wait for the content of the right pane to be fully loaded before you click it.

CR0185734
Quick Start will fail to generate reports you specify if InTrust is configured to use SRS running on a computer different than SQL Server machine hosting the InTrust database(s) you are trying to report on, and Windows authentication is used to connect to Reporting Services.

The following error message will be received:

Login failed for NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous Logon.

CR0177740

 

When you edit settings of an existing consolidation job and change the source repository, InTrust Manager doesn't prompt you for a new set of repository objects to be copied. Make sure to review the objects selected for processing in the new repository. ST41513
When InTrust is running in the Object Level security mode, the InTrust Manager snap-in may crash at an attempt to run Quick Start wizard under an account that does not have the Modify permission on either the Sites or Gathering node, or neither. ST48615
If you try to expand the Rules node in InTrust Manager and receive the following error:

Error 0x00006663: Cannot get node content.
Reason: 0x800A01E1: Unknown error 0x800A01E1

this is most likely the result of defining a custom alert severity level with an icon of an unsupported graphic file format. Use the ITCustomAlertSeverity.exe tool to remove a recently added alert severity from the InTrust configuration, and then add it again with an icon of a different format (.gif, .bmp, .jpg, .ico).

ST50571
Workflow and Sessions The If the task is still running, stop it at this time option in the task's Advanced Schedule Options dialog box does not work. Instead, use the Stop the task if it runs for option. CR0112061
At least 5 minutes must pass between committing a change made to a task and its scheduled start. For example, if you modify a task and commit the configuration at 8:40, then schedule the task to begin no sooner than 8:45. Otherwise, the task will fail to start. CR0112041
Tasks with the same names will not work. If you have accidentally created such tasks, remove both of them and create the tasks anew. CR0112240
The Application job may seem to be not responding while the application it launches is running. Wait until the application is completed. CR0112045
Do not use UPN-style account names (testuser@test.abc.com). CR0112049
If InTrust Servers in an Organization are concurrently running too many tasks, you may receive the following error in results of some sessions:

"Components Manager: Failed to find Storage Accessors. Error=0x80004005: Timeout expired. Unspecified error."

This happens because each task accesses InTrust Configuration database, and some of them fail to do that because of query timeout expiration. If you cannot reduce the number of task that run concurrently, consider increasing the value of the timeout setting on the SQL Server level using the sp_configure stored procedure.

CR0111825
When you create an Application job, clicking the Browse button for Working Directory may not work and result in an error message. If this happens, type in the full path to the working directory instead of browsing for it. CR0120361
A session for an InTrust job of the Windows Scheduled Task type configured to run a scheduled task that fails to start will be logged as successful if the job has the 'Synchronous operation' option disabled. CR0149467
If a job finishes with an error, its session information may contain the error code without an error description. CR0155885
An InTrust job of the Windows Scheduled Task type can be configured to run a task scheduled on a Windows 2008 or Vista machine only if the task meets both of the following requirements:
  • The task is set up with the Windows 2000/XP/2003 compatibility option enabled.
  • The task is located in the Task Scheduler Library, and not in its subfolder.

If either condition is not met for a Windows 2008/Vista scheduled task, you will not see it in the Select Windows Scheduled Task dialog when you run the New Job Wizard in InTrust Manager.

ST52816
Agents
If an agent consistently fails to start on a Windows machine, and you find the following error in the local Application event log:

InTrust agent stopped unexpectedly. Error occurred: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. (Win32 error: 10013).

or the following error from the agent process is written to syslog on the Unix machine hosting an InTrust agent:

InTrust agent stopped unexpectedly. Address already in use (CRuntime error: 98).

check if any other active process (application, service, daemon) is configured to listen on the port you are going to use as the InTrust agent communication port on this machine (TCP port 900 by default). If you find some, reconfigure either the agent or the other application/service/daemon to use a different port. To change the communication port setting for InTrust agent, edit the agent.ini file located in the agent folder.

ST55548
If an agent has been installed manually, then you cannot uninstall it from InTrust Manager. Uninstall the agent manually, as described in the Deploying Agents section of the Quick Start Guide. CR0111578
You may have to uninstall the agents manually, if the InTrust Server to which the agents belonged is uninstalled. To avoid this, uninstall the agents from InTrust Manager prior to removing the server. B102815
When agents are used to gather audit data, the following error may occur:

Agent has not yet established connection to the InTrust Server (0x8adc2c09).

This situation may occur due to network problems, or when InTrust services have just been restarted, and agents have not communicated to the InTrust Server yet.

CR0111596
You may get several agent errors, if there's no free disk space on the computer where the InTrust agent is installed. For example:

ADC Error: User not found (0x8adc3207), (0x8adc2c05)

CR0111560
If InTrust agent is installed via Group Policy to a Windows XP Professional computer where the logon optimization is on, remember that software installation policy is applied only at next logon. Thus, the following message will appear in the event log:

The assignment of application Quest InTrust Agent from policy <policy> failed. The error was: The group policy framework should call the extension in the synchronous foreground policy refresh. For more information, see Help and Support Center.

After the next logon, the installation of the InTrust Agent from policy will be completed. For details, refer to the Microsoft KB article 305239 "Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Feature"
CR0112385
If an attempt to manually register an agent on an InTrust Server fails with the error message

'Cannot register agent on the InTrust server <...> No connection could be made because the target server actively refused it. <Win32 Error 10061>.'

check if the Quest InTrust Agent service is running and not stopped on the agent computer. If the service is stopped, start it and try registering the agent again.
CR0117194
Installation of an agent on a computer under an account from a trusted domain may fail with an error message stating that the 'Logon as a service' right cannot be granted to the agent account. This happens if the specific account has never logged on to that computer before. To prevent the problem, log on to the target computer under that account before installing the agent. CR0114825
When you are installing an InTrust agent by running the agent installation package (adc_agent*.msi), a Command Prompt window pops up. This window neither requires any input nor indicates of any problem with the agent installation. CR0135636
If you install an agent on a computer using the .MSI package, then manually uninstall it with the adcscm.nt_intel.exe -uninstall command and try to install it later using the .MSI package again, the agent setup prompts you to repair or remove the agent as if it was still installed. Select the option to Remove the agent, let the setup run to the end, and then run it again to have the agent installed. CR0135745
InTrust agents do not support the ja_JP.SJIS locale on Linux. CR0148319
If you use InTrust Manager to unregister an InTrust agent residing on a computer that has no connection to the InTrust Server, then you may get errors trying to register the agent again with InTrust Manager after the connection is restored. If this happens, use the agent command with the -add parameter on the target computer. CR0149798
If agent recovery takes place on a site for which the Prohibit automatic agent deployment on site computers option is enabled, the InTrust Server log may contain incorrect messages stating that the recovery was successful. CR0114462
When you are uninstalling an InTrust agent by running the agent installation package (adc_agent*.msi), the File In Use dialog may pop up stating that the Quest InTrsut Agent process currently uses the files that require update, and prompting you to either Exit or Ignore or Retry. Agent uninstallation is expected to finish successfully if you select the Ignore option. ST54666
Networking InTrust does not support NetBIOS computer aliases. CR0115379

Gathering

Events logged for renaming an account in Active Directory collected with a gathering policy based on a data source with the Create agent-side audit log backup option enabled may be stored to the target repository or/and database with the old account name specified instead of its new name. This happens because, due to the current implementation of operations with AD accounts and event logging in Microsoft Windows, this data is not yet available at the moment when the event is written to the agent-side cache. ST57888
If at the moment you attempt to gather Microsoft Proxy Server log this log contains event data in different formats, then gathering process will not work correctly. CR0117156
If you gather IIS/ISA Server text logs with the Time data field disabled for logging, some events may be lost. To avoid event losses, don't disable the Time field in the logging options on IIS/ISA Servers you are going to collect logs from. CR0117109
If you receive the following error message in the task session results:

The session terminated unexpectedly.

while the individual job sessions under this task are marked as successful, check if the system time is synchronized between the InTrust Server and the SQL Server that hosts the InTrust configuration database.
CR0152716
When the agent on a computer in some InTrust site becomes lost, InTrust cannot receive information about the type of that computer in order to check if processing it exceeds the installed license. As a result, any further attempt to gather audit log data from that computer may fail with a misleading error message 'License is exceeded'. CR0152230
Time stamp for events collected with a Data Source of the Custom Text Log type may be displayed incorrectly in InTrust Repository Viewer if these events were logged before the system time adjustment for daylight savings but collected after the time switch. In the Audit database, event time is saved correctly and this problem does not affect in InTrust reports. CR0154507
When events from the IIS log are collected with the Ignore events older than / before ... option enabled, a warning about some events having been ignored is not logged to the results of the gathering job session as it is for gathering jobs that collect events from other logs with this option enabled. CR0155889
If an InTrust Server is included in a site with automatic agent deployment disabled, a message about skipped agent installation is generated for the InTrust Server computer, and no gathering or monitoring policies that apply to the site are applied to it. As a workaround, consider including the InTrust Server computer into a site with automatic agent deployment enabled and running some gathering job for that site at least once. Then you may move it back to the original InTrust site since the policies will work for it as expected. CR0114233
When you set up an InTrust Site to filter for Domain Controllers with InTrust for Active Directory service running, InTrust also enumerates all machines that have the InTrust for Active Directory Administration Tools installed. When a gathering job configured to collect events from InTrust for AD log is run for this Site, the following warning is logged for every enumerated computer that does not have InTrust for Active Directory service running:

The specified log does not exist.

CR0185886
Events on a Group Policy creation collected with a gathering policy based on a data source with the Create agent-side audit log backup option enabled may be stored to the target repository or/and database with the GPO display names unresolved. This happens because, due to the current implementation of GPO creation and event logging in Microsoft Windows, this data is not yet available at the moment when the event is written to the agent-side cache. ST27221
A gathering job configured to use agents may fail with the following error message:

The license does not include the specified computer type or the specified data provider.

for target computers that do not have agents installed by the time when the gathering session starts. If this happens, wait for a short time to let agents get installed, and run the gathering job again.

ST41440

 

When you change the location of an event log file on a Windows 2008 server, InTrust may be unable to collect events from that log even after you reboot the server and it starts writing new events into the log at its new location. Like Windows native Event Viewer running on a remote pre-Windows 2008 machine, InTrust will be unable to use the log after you move it until you reboot the collected server again. ST54042
Real-Time Monitoring
It may take the InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server service a long time to stop if the Alert Database is overloaded with alerts and slow to respond. CR0111672,
CR0115603
The 'Registry Permissions Changed' rule doesn't work on Windows Server 2003 computers. CR0112157
Do not use wildcards in rule parameter values that define authorized/administrative/target/etc. groups in rules that require group membership resolution for user accounts. Most of these are rules with words 'by unauthorized personnel', 'administrative account', 'administrative rights' in their names. CR0112159,
CR0112161
InTrust scripts related to Active Directory object management cannot be executed on Windows NT 4.0 computers. CR0112142
On platforms other then Windows, when a 'Successful <logon, 'su' command, etc.> after failed attempts' rule is matched, the number of failed attempts reported includes the successful attempt that triggers the rule. CR0112270, CR0115771
Community names with non-Latin characters are sent incorrectly when you select sending an SNMP trap as a response action for a real-time monitoring rule. CR0115387
After the Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server service is restarted, real-time monitoring may temporarily stop working for a computer that is included in multiple InTrust sites under different names if those InTrust sites are configured for real-time monitoring with the same monitoring policy. Monitoring will be resumed for each affected InTrust site when it is enumerated the next time, as defined in the site properties. CR0115566
The RemoveGroup script does not remove Distribution groups from Active Directory. CR0115585
When a new Alerting Profile associated to a different InTrust Server is created in any installation of Monitoring Console in the InTrust Organization, clickable links in alert notification emails stop working for any alerts in the old Alerting Profiles. CR0152503
If you experience a degrade in the Alert Database performance, try increasing values of the two InTrust configuration parameters that control the buffer and queue sizes for the connection InTrust makes to the Alert Database. Running the following SQL query on the InTrust configuration database will increase both sizes from the default value of 800KB (819200 bytes) to 10MB (10485760 bytes):

UPDATE ADCOrganizationParameter
SET [Value] = '10485760'
WHERE (Name = 'ITRT_CommMaxSizePerConnection') OR (Name = 'ITRT_CommQueueSize')

CR0153944
After disabling a real-time monitoring policy configured to monitor an MS IIS Server and removing the InTrust Agent from a monitored IIS computer you will have to restart IIS on that computer in order to restore its Web connectivity. CR0149865
If a script-based real-time monitoring rule fails on some of the monitored computers, the agent installed on that computer does not inform InTrust Server about the failure and no error entry is reported in the InTrust Server log. CR0151859
When real-time monitoring rules are matched, event field names that consist only of digits are treated as integers. This causes errors, because string values are expected. CR0135658
When two or more InTrust Servers have real-time monitoring policies with WMI-based rules in them applied to the same computer, alerts triggered by rules handled by different InTrust Servers may be saved to an Alerts database of a wrong InTrust Server. CR0184711
You must be a member of the Administrators group on the InTrust Monitoring Console machine to make changes to Database settings of an alerting profile if this profile has SQL Authentication selected for its connection to the Alert database. ST41049
You may receive the following error at an attempt to import an exported user settings in InTrust Monitoring Console:

    Cannot import user.

    Enhanced error information.

    Number: 0x80004005

    Description: 007~ASP 0104~Operation not Allowed~

This is most likely to be caused by the settings of MS IIS hosting InTrust Monitoring Console. For more information see Microsoft KB article 327659.

ST41636
An attempt to export a large number (around 10,000 or more) of alerts from InTrust Monitoring Console to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet may fail with the following error:

Enhanced error information.

Number: 0x80004005

Description:&nbsp006~ASP 0251~Response Buffer Limit Exceeded~Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.

This is most likely to be caused by the problem with Microsoft IIS described in Microsoft KB article 826756.

ST41622

 

WMI-based real-time monitoring rules cannot be applied to Windows NT 4.0 computers. Assigning a real-time monitoring policy with these rules to an InTrust site that includes Windows NT 4.0 computers produces the following events in the InTrust event log on the InTrust Server machine:

 

Event ID: 8195
Type: Error
Source: InTrust Monitoring Engine
Operation: Agent Configuring
Computer: <NT4_computer_name>
Description: Component <GUID> failed to install on the '<NT4_computer_name>' agent. Error text: The specified module could not be found. (Win32 error: 126).

ST42668
After you upgrade your InTrust to version 10.1 from version 9.6, real-time monitoring with the AR Server Service: Physical memory usage rule (Quest Active Roles Servers (ARS) Knowledge Pack) may not work out of the box on agents running on Windows 2008 machines . A resolution for this problem is available from Quest Support on request. ST54788

Reporting

Don't use the Update Database option for any data source in InTrust Knowledge Portal since it proved to run an outdated SQL script on Audit databases. This command is intended to update a structure of an Audit database created by InTrust of version earlier than 9.0. If you use Audit database(s) created with later versions of InTrust, you don't need to update the Audit database structure. CR0190753
Don't add too many reports to one reporting job. Doing so may make the whole Tasks node not responding to your attempts to browse it, with the following error message displayed:

Enumerating collection failed.
Reason: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

If you are absolutely sure you need hundreds of reports to be processed with one reporting job, consider installing additional memory on the SQL Server computer that hosts InTrust configuration database.
CR0181130
If you modify a model of a report that is already included in some reporting jobs, for example, add or remove a filter, reporting job(s) configured to compile this report will fail with the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After you modify a report model, you will have to remove it from any reporting jobs that use it and add them to those jobs again.

CR0180458
A report with query based parameters or filters cannot be added to a reporting job if a data source specified for this report is configured with invalid settings. An attempt to add such a report to a job fails with the following error:

CR0184587
If InTrust reporting is configured to access MS SQL Reporting Services over an HTTPS connection, and the InTrust Server computer does not have a certificate installed for the specified MS SRS server, an attempt to access Reporting Services results in the following error:

Error 0x00004659: Internal error occurred.
Reason: 0x80131509: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship with remote server.

To install a required certificate, you can use Internet Explorer to open the URL of MS SRS specified in the properties of the Reports node in InTrust Manager as 'MS SQL Reporting Services path'. When prompted for certificate installation, accept it. When the certificate is installed, you will be able to perform any operations with reports and reporting jobs in InTrust Manager.

CR0185153

A reporting job may fail with the following error:

The job was finished, but no entry was created for it in the task session because of an error.

If this happens, check whether the account under which the job starts has the Read access permission to the Windows folder on the InTrust Server computer.

CR0187676
If a reporting job fails with the following error:

The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

check the reports in the job for incorrect filter settings. This error may be logged to the session results, for example, when some report has a filter that requires a non-empty value specified, and that filter is disabled.

CR0188342
Avoid selecting "HTML with Office Web Components" as an output format for reports on the Delivery tab of a reporting task. Reports saved in this format may contain an invalid HTML code and be unreadable with conventional Web browsers. CR0188772
When you manually stop a reporting job that is running, temporary objects related to reports the job has generated before termination may be not always automatically removed from MS SQL Reporting  Services server and you may have to clean them up later. CR0186374
Some reports are wider than the page. The width of the fields in such reports may change depending on the values in the fields. CR0145120

If you select the Create the Reporting Server snap-shot option on the Delivery tab of a reporting task properties, the settings of InTrust Data Sources used by reports in the job are overwritten with the values specific to this job. CR0191127
InTrust does not clean up all of the temporary tables and views reports create in the databases. Depending on the version of SQL Server hosting the database you need to clean up, use the TempCleaner_2000.sql or TempCleaner_2005.sql script from the product DVD (<DVD_Root>\InTrust\Tools\Database CleanUp\) to remove the temporary objects from databases. The script can be scheduled by means of MS SQL Server to be run on a regular basis and configured to delete temporary database objects older than a specified number of days. CR0191293
You may receive the following confusing error:

"Query execution failed for data set 'MainDataSet'."

at an attempt to open a subreport of a report generated by a reporting job. If this happens, check if the subreport uses a different data source than the main report included into the job, and if that data source is configured with valid settings (server, database, access credentials).

CR0191339
You may be unable to compile subreports of the Multiple failed account logons report if a reporting job configured to compile it accesses the SQL Server under an account that does not have the db_owner role for the InTrust Audit database. CR0188067
If you select the Use SRS data source associated with each report option for a reporting job, make sure no report  included into the job has an associated data source with the Credentials supplied by the user running the report option selected in its properties. ST31276
When you configure a reporting job with the Import objects from the following repository: option enabled, and set it up to include reports configured to use event local time, as opposed to GMT, make sure to provide time values matching local time on the event originating computers in time-related filters of the reports. ST36881
When you configure filters in a report and enable the NULL checkbox for either the Date/time from: or Date/time to: filter, values you specify in these filters will be ignored and data in the report will be filtered based on the value specified in the Interval filter. ST41084

ST54667

Agent-side audit log backup

The option to resolve IP addresses at gathering IIS logs does not work with the 'Create agent-side audit log backup' option enabled. CR0154160
When you process a non-Windows audit trail, avoid gathering the same event data to the same Audit database with and then without the 'Agent-side audit log backup' option enabled on the agents, since this may result in duplicate event records in the Audit database. For event data collect from Windows event logs, duplicate records never appear in an Audit Database. CR0154165
Events collected from IIS Server log with the 'Agent-side audit log backup' option enabled are stored with empty site description fields. CR0154362
An attempt to change location of a audit log backup on the agent engaged in real-time monitoring of a Microsoft IIS WWW log or gathering of that log with the 'Create agent-side audit log backup' option enabled fails with the following error popping up in InTrust Manager:

Reason: 0x00004659: <ComputerName>: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

ST40556

Switching Wizard

All agents in an InTrust Site lose the 'Limit CPU usage to...' setting when the site is moved to another InTrust Server with Switching Wizard. CR0141795
Don't use the AdcFailover.exe from the Support Tools folder on the InTrust Server to start the InTrust Server failover process. In the current version of InTrust, use the Switching Wizard that can be run from InTrust Manager, or the Switch server response action that runs when the InTrust server is down predefined rule is matched. CR0115054
If an InTrust site with Linux or Solaris computer has been re-assigned for processing to a different InTrust Server during a failover procedure, you must manually register every Linux and Solaris agent in the site on the new InTrust Server. CR0139189

Repository management

If you convert, with Evt2Repository.exe tool, the same .EVT file to the same repository more than once, data from that .EVT file will be duplicated. CR0117160
When a repository cleanup job starts under an account that has insufficient rights for deleting data from the target repository, the job fails with an error message that does not mention the reason for the failure:

Cannot clean up obsolete data from one or more data stores. Cannot remove one or more files.

CR0155534
When you create a new repository of the EMC Centera type and select the 'Use custom connection string:' option, make sure to not save a new line character at the end of the connection string you type in there. A connection string with trailing line feed characters will look as a valid one but will cause InTrust fail to authenticate when it connects to EMC Centera. CR0182152
Be careful to not specify a path to a file system based EMC Centera repository index when you configure a file system based repository, or to specify a path to a file system based repository when you configure a repository on EMC Centera. Either mistake may result in corrupted or lost data in a repository. CR0182228
Repository Viewer does not correctly display insertion strings longer than 260 characters in events stored in a repository. Characters starting from posisiton 261 are not displayed. CR0177531
The Use this InTrust server to manage the repository setting in the properties of a consolidation job cannot be used with InTrust repositories based on EMC Centera. ST54022

Sun Solaris systems processing

On a SPARC machine, a successfully installed agent may fail to start with the following error message logged to syslog: "ADC error: 8adc1006 host/server name not known". If this happens, use the 'hostname' command to restore the host name. CR0111618
During an attempt to uninstall an InTrust agent on a Solaris system, the file adcscm.solaris_sparc may be removed before the agent process is stopped. In that case, uninstallation of the agent fails, and no further attempt to uninstall the agent can succeed until you create a new file with the name 'adcscm.solaris_sparc' that the uninstallation process is able to remove. CR0114822
When you are gathering BSM log events from a Solaris host that does not have access to a DNS server and has an entry for itself in the hosts file only by a FQDN and not by its short name, gathering fails with the following error: 'ADC Error: Failed to collect from network object. (Internal error: Failed to enumerate event logs. (host/servername not known (CRuntime error: 8)))'. Edit the hosts file on the Solaris host include an entry for the short name of that host. CR0151318
When InTrust collects syslog events from a Linux machine, events logged on a Solaris machine and redirected to a Linux machine are stored with the Linux PlatformID (630) and not the Solaris one (610). When InTrust collects a redirected Linux syslog trail from a Solaris host, all events are saved with the Solaris PlatformID. CR0152540
The following reports from the InTrust for Solaris report pack work only for events collected from Solaris 8 and 9:
  • Forensic Analysis / Solaris Syslog Events
  • Normal User Activity / Logins / Failed logins
  • Normal User Activity / Logins / Successful logins
  • Normal User Activity / Privileged User Logins / Failed logins of privileged users
  • Normal User Activity / Privileged User Logins / Successful logins of privileged users
CR0154230
When you collect data from a BSM log, you may receive a warning that InTrust is unable to find the last gathering position in the log file to start gathering from. InTrust is unable to identify a last gathered event in the BSM log file if any process keeps the log file open at the time of gathering. When this happens, all data in such a log file is gathered starting from the first record in it. To avoid collection of duplicate data, consider forcing the Solaris system to start writing a new BSM log file shortly before the gathering is started. CR0190754
When you change the adc_temp_path parameter for an agent running on a SPARC Solaris machine, you may receive the "Connection is closed" error in InTrust Manager. If this happens, the target agent loses connection(s) to InTrust server(s) and may crash with a core dump. After a restart, the agent will reconnect to InTrust server(s) it is registered with. Sometimes it is required that the agent is restarted more than once before it is able to successfully restore the connection(s). ST47168

Linux systems processing

On Linux systems with NetArmor enabled, InTrust cannot gather or monitor data with any of the following data sources: Syslog, Accounts Monitoring, Text Files Monitoring. ST56955
The 'Text file modified' real-time monitoring rule doesn't work for files with space characters in the names. CR0185158
Alert generated by predefined rules from the Account Management group may display inconsistent user names if a user is not only created or only deleted but created AND deleted between the consequent runs of the rule script (at 1 minute intervals by default). CR0116004

HP-UX systems processing

The ADC Error: System resources exceeded (0x8adc100b) error received at log gathering from an HP-UX system is most likely to mean that the value of the max_thread_proc Kernel Parameter in the collected system should be increased. This error is most expected at gathering from HP-UX 11.11 systems where this parameter is set to 64 by default. ST54690

Syslog processing

When syslog events are collected from a computer to which syslog is redirected and not from original host that generate them, event time values in local time will be calculated based on the time zone of the computer InTrust collects them from. If you choose to treat timestamps in syslog events as local time, consider redirecting syslog for gathering it with InTrust to a computer in the same time zone as the hosts you redirect it from. CR0146199

Microsoft IIS log processing

Microsoft IIS FTP log monitoring in cached mode does not work with IIS 6.0. CR0145807
Enabling real-time monitoring or agent-side audit log backup on a Windows NT 4.0 computer running MS IIS 4.x may result in termination of IIS logging to a standard W3C format log. W3C logging on the IIS 4.x may be resumed after the InTrust agent is removed from the computer, or the real-time monitoring or agent-side audit log backup for the computer is disabled and W3C logging is explicitly enabled. CR0188983
InTrust cannot resolve the %event_1.cs_cookee% parameter in alerts and notifications generated by real-time monitoring of the Microsoft IIS WWW log. ST25411
At real-time monitoring or gathering of IIS 7.0 WWW logs with the agent-side audit log backup enabled, the values of some data fields (time_taken, cs_bytes, sc_bytes) in generated alerts or collected events are set to 0. ST51758
Gathering of WWW logs in UTF-8 format does not work if logging on the IIS is configured with the Do not create new log files option enabled (a size of a single log file is not limited). ST53804
Real-time monitoring and gathering of IIS 7.0 FTP logs with the agent-side audit log backup enabled doesn't work. ST52601
Microsoft ISAS log processing The following reports in the current version of InTrust do not return events collected from MS ISAS 2004:

  • ISA Firewall: Cannot Assign Requested Address
  • ISA Firewall: Connection Refused
  • ISA Firewall: Connection Timed Out
  • ISA Firewall: Host not Found
  • ISA Firewall: Network is Unreachable

  • CR0154104
    The setting to Clear Log After Gathering does not work for ISA logs stored to MSDE. ST51922

    Microsoft ACS data processing

    If a gathering job configured to collect event data from ACS keeps failing with the following error logged to its session results:

    Data Source: Microsoft OpsManager ACS events
    Description: Errors encountered at data collection. ADC Error: Failed to collect from network object. (Internal error: Failed to enumerate event logs. (Cannot enumerate event log instances. (The requested operation timed out.The requested operation timed out.)))

    check if the Microsoft SCOM console installed on the InTrust agent (or InTrust Server, in case of agentless gathering) machine is of a version compatible with that of the collected ACS server.

    ST55892
    Microsoft Exchange Server log processing The "seconds" parameter in the Exchange Tracking log is treated as the time taken to process the message, although in fact this parameter contains irrelevant values. CR0146607
    Custom text logs processing Some log files of formats that suppose log data to be rewritten and not always appended to the end of the file, may be collected incorrectly and some events may be lost. If this happens, the 'Invalid record' warning is logged to the gathering session results. CR0118101
    InTrust agent running on a Sun Solaris or Red Hat Linux machine may crash if you specify a wildcard as a part of a name for a directory immediately under the root, like '/tm*', in the path to the collected log. However, for directories down the file system tree in log paths, like '/home/user*', wildcards are safe to use. CR0123466
    When you collect an audit trail data with a Custom Text Log Events type data source, every event will be collected with values of Version Major and Version Minor data fields set to those of the last collected event. CR0165698
    The Description data field of events collected with a Custom Text Log Events type data source is not saved to an InTrust audit database. CR0184224
    In the New Data Source Wizard, on the Date/Time step, clicking on the Test Formatting button will display a correctly parsed date/time fields even if you don't specify field delimiters between field numbers in the 'Log fields' field of the dialog page. However, when you later collect data with the data source created in this way, gathering sessions will fail with error messages stating that some lines in the log cannot be parsed.  For example, if the format of date and time data in the log is space delimited, like "Mar 23 12:13:10" and, in the 'Log fields', you specify "<1><2><3>" and not "<1> <2> <3>", the Test Formatting button will recognize date and time correctly but the gathering module will not.  Make sure to always accurately specify field delimiters in the 'Log fields' input field on the Date/Time step of New Data Source Wizard. CR0183396
    DB-based logs processing In the DB-based log provider query, data fields of type(s) TEXT or/and NTEXT must be either come last in the SELECT statement or be explicitly converted to the NVARCHAR data type. Otherwise the following error will be received at gathering:

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index.

    CR0119477
    If the Oracle DB-based log is being collected from a machine with no Oracle driver installed, Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle pops up an error message about the absence of the required Oracle driver on the collected machine. For collections that don't use agents, this message box pops up on the InTrust Server machine, while for agent-enabled collections the error message pops up on the agent side. There is no way for InTrust to suppress this error message box because of the specifics of Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle implementation. CR0121853
    Attempting to select an SQL server from the list in the New Database log template wizard may result in InTrust Manager crashing. This is caused by Microsoft ODBC driver behavior and cannot be controlled from the InTrust Manager snap-in code. CR0111355
    Command line tools If you run the Evt2Repository.exe tool on a Windows 2008 machine to import events from an event log saved to an .evt file on a pre-Windows 2008 computer, the tool fails with an error message saying the event log file is corrupted. To work around this problem, you can do one of the following:
    1. Process the file with Evt2Repository.exe on a Windows 2003 or Windows 2000 machine.
    2. Open the .evt file with Windows 2008 Event Viewer and save it in the .evtx format. Then run Evt2Repository.exe again to import events from the saved .evtx file.

    Don't use the AdcChangePath tool from the InTrust Support Tools folder. CR0153635
    When the AdcSrvAcc.exe tool is started with the -restart switch on the command line, the Quest InTrust Server, Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server and Quest InTrust Agent services are not restarted as expected but just stopped and have to be started manually. If the services are not running when the AdcSrvAcc.exe is run with the -restart switch, only the Quest InTrust Server service starts, while the Quest InTrust Real-Time Monitoring Server and Quest InTrust Agent services still have to be started manually. It is recommended that you don't rely on AdcSrvAcc.exe in restarting these three InTrust services but run it without the -restart switch on the command line and use the Services snap-in, net stop/net start commands or some other tool of your choice to have the services restarted. CR0153996
    The ItRepConverter.exe command line tool does not make use of the UserName and Password parameters you specify on the command line. Instead, use the runas Windows command to launch ItRepConverter.exe if you want it to use alternative credentials to access the repository. CR0155375
    Use the Evt2Repository.exe tool to import events only from event log files saved in the .EVT format with Event Viewer. If you try to point it to a raw .EVT file the system is writing events to, or the copy of such a file created outside Event Viewer, Evt2Repository.exe will fail to import events from this file with the following error:

    Cannot convert file. The event log file is corrupted. (Win32 error: 1500)

    CR0155535
    If you use the InTrustPDOImport.exe tool to import an InTrust configuration object from an XML file exported from InTrust 9.6, the operation will fail with the following error:

    XML structure is incompatible with configuration structure.Reason: The configuration object '<object_name>' does not contain property 'EDACL'.
    To import the object successfully, edit the XML file to remove all the <EDACL> tags.

    ST49704
    Platform-Specific Issuess InTrust Monitoring Console does not work on Windows Server 2003 64-bit systems. ST50685
    If you collect event logs from Windows 2008 machines without agents with an InTrust Server running on a Windows 2003 machine, values of some data fields in collected events will not be resolved. Agentless gatherings from Windows 2008 machines should be done by InTrust Servers running on Windows 2008 machines only. ST53708
    On Windows 2008 machines, if you configure an event log with the Retain old events and  Backup log authomatically when full option, InTrust cannot collect events from Archive event logs created by the systems to backup old events on log retention. ST54044
    When you are in the process of upgrading a multiserver InTrust 9.6 organization deployed in a Windows 2008 domain, only the servers that are already upgraded will be listed in InTrust Manager 10.1 running on a Windows 2008 or Windows Vista machine as InTrust Servers available for connection.

    Upgrade and Compatibility

    InTrust 10.1 supports upgrade from InTrust 9.6 and 10.0. To upgrade from version 9.0, you should first upgrade your InTrust installation to version 9.6 (as described in the InTrust 9.6 Upgrade Path), and then upgrade from version 9.6 to version 10.1.

    For more detailed instructions on upgrading your existing InTrust installations, see the Quest InTrust Upgrade Path document shipped with the version of the product you are upgrading to.

     

    Important:

    Agents installed on non-Windows computers are not automatically upgraded. You will have to manually uninstall an existing agent and then manually install the new InTrust 10.1 agent and register appropriate InTrust Server(s) on it (CR0153297, CR0154356).
