atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Toshiba Telephones & Systems Network Emanager with Windows 7 ??

I also tried having the installer go on the built in XP Virtual Machine, but the VM uses almost like a NAT translation in it's networking, so it will surf the internet, but it won't see our internal network. I stopped messing with that after the first hiccup so it could very well go. Hardsetting the IP info didn't work so I quit on that pretty fast.

Hello has anybody tryed to use network emanager on vista home primium os.

Will not work on Vista Home

Don't expect proper W7 support anytime soon, I had a whole thread on Tech Talk regarding the issue and today I discovered that they deleted it.

Windows 7, while it looks like Vista, is not Vista. It blows away XP in the performace category, so much so that I put it on my 8 year old AMD XP 1800 machine and the only thing I had to do was pick up an Nvidia graphics card. I run like 750MB of RAM on this machine.

Virtual PC is slow and painful, only use it as a last resort if you can't get yourself a corporate or otherwise properly licensed copy of XP.

VM Ware is the king of the crop, but costs 200 dollars/ I just changed out the HDD in my laptop to a 7200 RPM Western Digital Scorpio Black and am now using Sun's Virutal Box with XP SP2. You have to change the network setting from "NAT" to "Bridged" in order to get NEM to work properly, also don't use the latest build of NEM because it doesn't do a fresh install properly. I have found that 520A08B is the best one for a fresh install so far. You also have to completely disable the firewalls in both the Host OS and the Guest OS to make it work properly.

If you do VM's, put 4 GB of ram in your Laptop and allocate 1GB to the VM. I have found no significant performance problems with Virtual Box or VM Ware Workstation using this method.

my workaround was that I have a bunch of other servers doing other things, so I put network emanager on a 2003 R2 server, published internal DNS to point to it and just use a web browser on the W7 box. For those with only one machine, this isn't much of an option. I also don't know how much the fact that my W7 is 64-bit came into play, but the web page is a lot snappier than emanager used to be on the local machine so I don't even care. Good luck to everyone trying to get it to work on W7!

also my previous posts on trying to install NETWORK emanager were incorrect. That is when I was trying to install emanager v5.10a07. I tried network emanager this morning and ran into problems with that one also (also running in compatibility mode)

The problem is with the NeMan installer. When the setup is launched and the installer begins, it looks for the OS installed, if the supported OS is installed, the installation goes forward, if it is not supported you will get the error MacOSX posted.
Toshiba will need to and W7 to the installer package before NeMan will successfully install and work properly. I don't see this happening for while...Is you face turning blue yet?

Hmm, I just tried installing the current NEM on my RC x64 box and didn't have any install issues I recall (which I absolutely had on the beta). I even tested it via a basic windows VPN to a customer. The one thing I did not test was dial-up since I don't have a modem in my home PC, but it gave me enough hope that I seriously was thinking about redoing my laptop to 7 until I read this thread...

Any updates to this?
