Richard -

This was a hot topic earlier this month.  Here's a more definitive answer from
someone who understands this better than I do.
Basically, Ciscoworks2000 does not integrate on NT the same way as it does on
UNIX, and generally speaking it is up to each vendor providing intergated
function to tell you how to do it.  We are not testing that for them.

     Scott you got to define what kind of integration you need and then see
     what is available.

     CW2000 doesn't integrate as tight into management platforms (e.g.
     NetView and NNM) as the old CiscoWorks 4.x did. Actually you have a
     bit of GUI, a bit of data and a bit of web integration.

     The GUI integration is done between CiscoView (part of CW2000 Campus
     aka CWSI) and the management platform. Supported platforms are NetView
     on AIX and NNM on NT, Solaris and HP-UX.

     The data integration is import of object information from the
     management platform into CW2000 Essentials (aka Resource Manager
     Essentials, RME) inventory database. The supported platforms are the
     same as above plus CWSI. I have to agree with Edvyn that importing
     from CWSI isn't the best choice. netmon of NetView or NNM does a far
     better job of discovery.

     Web integration is done between the web interface of NetView or NNM
     and RME and is just links.

Does anyone know if Ciscoworks 2000 for NT and Netview for NT intergrate
together like there Unix counterparts.  Or know where I can get information
on how to do the integration for the products on the NT platform.

Thanks
