Upgraded Pac Ship to 6.11 again. Two strange things so far.
1) Under 6.08 //PSR_COM/XPC was valid for the XPC directory. After 6.11, Comet couldn't find the directory, "Invalid Share". Windows Explorer had no problem and the share info looked correct. We changed to //PSR_COM/D$/XPC and everything was OK. This didn't happen the first time I installed 6.11 on 12/27/06.
2) They have a program that updates a "$" file and runs the report. QREPORTS recompiles and starts to execute but can't find the data file and stops and prompts for the "$" name. Enter it manually and the report runs. This happened the last time and went away when I returned them to 6.08.
May have made some progress on their "stuttering" problem. Using Task Manager on the server, we found that winmgmt.exe was spiking the CPU to 100% every minute and posting a warning entry in the Event Log. Had to Disable the service to keep it from coming back. Apparently lots of things can cause it to restart.
Found that beserver.exe, Backup Exec, also has a 80% CPU spike every two minutes. Investigating.
