Stephen, have you submitted a support request via http://support.cireson.com yet? This is looking like something that will take a bit more information to resolve.

Stephen - do you by chance have a central admin site above the primary site? And if so, you are trying the Ticker on the CAS? If so, that is a known issue, and actually already fixed :-) Re-download the app again. We posted an updated version of the app last month to accommodate the CAS scenario.

Please do respond to this thread either way so that we know the status of your issue.

We originally had a PS, added a CAS a few years ago and it failed to add. Opened a ticket with MS who removed. it. I have now solved the issue.


When the CAS was removed, the database function [fnIsCasOrStandalonePrimary] was statically returning 0. Got to the bottom of it with the help of a Microsoft ticket. For anyone else reading this, it should return 1.

FUNCTION [dbo].[fnIsCasOrStandalonePrimary]() RETURNS BIT AS BEGIN RETURN 1 END

Hi Stephen,

So you are good now, and your Ticker app works fine? We did have an issue with the Configuration Manager Ticker app in its first release with a CAS. We fixed that issue a few months ago, so any downloads in the past few months should have been for the version that works with the CAS environment. However, it sounds like your issue was more with your physical environment, and not our version of the Ticker app itself.

If you are good now, and if you haven't already marked the thread as answered, please do so to allow easier management of open threads.

Thanks,

Wally
