Kern and support distro - Thanks for the continued support.


I just do not think the FD is running is all. As to why I am not sure. I am 
Domain Admin in our Active Directory domain and I should be able to manually 
start it with no issues.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listening Daemon - I performed a "netstat -n" from the command line on the 
Windows. I see nothing listening on 9102.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Telnet to 9102 - I can ping the Windows server from all other hosts including 
the CentOS Bacula Director/Storage server, but cannot telnet to 9102 on the 
Windows Server from anywhere on the LAN.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manually executing the file daemon:
C:\>cd "Program Files"
C:\Program Files>cd Bacula
C:\Program Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe
C:\Program Files\Bacula>
24-Feb 15:15 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at 
/home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/parse_conf.c:898
Config error: Cannot open config file "C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Application Data\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf": No such file or directory

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Firewall - Off completely. Yes you access it via Control Panel>Windows 
Firewall. It is off and we do not enable it on this box anyway.

If I am not mistaken, how to turn off the firewall is documented in the Windows 
chapter of the manual.

The latest Windows machines will actually put up a Window telling you that the 
FD wants to open a port and let you deactivate the firewall for that port with 
one click.

Best regards,
Kern
