3. NEC ESMPRO Manager on the Windows Server 2003 SP1 may not monitor the server that has the network card with the multiple IP addresses.

[Phenomenon]
When multiple IP addresses are set to one Network Interface card in a monitored server, IP Address in SNMP response packet from ESMPRO Server Agent may differ from IP address in SNMP request packet from ESMPRO Server Manager. In such case, the server can't be monitored when ESMPRO Server Manager receives response packet from Server Agent before starting Windows firewall Service

[Workaround]
In ESMPRO/Server Manager Operation Window, open Property Window of Server icon. Change the IP Address to another address set to the target server. Then reboot the system.

4. NEC ESMPRO Manager and Agent on Windows Server 2003 SP1 do not support DMI.

DMI is protocol for non-NEC Servers and need not to be used for monitoring Express Server.
NEC ESMPRO Manager Ver4.1 or later, and NEC ESMPRO Agent Ver4.0 or later do not support DMI.
