SBS 2003 Monitoring and Reporting Usage Report

[Warren.Bedser]

Hi All

I have a weird problem with one of the clients SBS 2003 servers. The problem is when i go to the monitoring and reporting page. When i click on the usage reports i am unable to change the time frame for which i want the custom report to run!!! When I click on the drop down menu to select a date, nothing happens.

I have tried reinstalling, i have remove it completely and reinstalled it and nothing...

Any idea???

Thank you

For enabling the same I did the following things. I clicked on the monitoring and reporting option under server management and then clicked on server usage report. This is done from the remote workplace. Now when I open http://ServerName/monitoring I can configure the same. In my case I had made the report status to email at every week. It works at the start and then the entire thing failed. For that someone suggested me to reinstall the performance/monitoring. Till yet there is no issue.

To fix the issue better re-install SBS Monitoring. This will make it appropriate in terms of giving out results. There are few set of simple tools through which you can re-install SBS Monitoring. For that you have to first remove it. You can go do that from Control Panel. Then go in C:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING and take the backup of last folder. this will be restored later on to get old reports back. Launch Windows Small Business Server 2003 Setup Wizard > Server Tools to Maintenance. Here you have to go in Monitoring. Restart the server. then start MSSQL$SBSMONITORING and SQLAgent$SBSMONITORING services.
