I think what he's getting at is the fact that you have .bbwin on the end so are you operating on the .bbwin domain? With bbwin you can specify the hostname by adding:

<setting name="hostname" value="FQDN" />

But by default it only uses the computer name.  (maybe you can use %hostname%.domain I don't know, I use a cmd file to generate the bbwin.cfg so I don't have to type in each and every hostname.

What does look strange? The use of some kind of FQDN? I have read that there
could be problems with BBWin clients and FQDN... I am right? Is there a
solution?

Thank in advance.

Hello all,

I am currently testing BBWin and I have some problems. The bb-hostsvc.sh
script returns an error:

Query string: bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=emarganne.bbwin&SERVICE=info
Results: Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh

Beside that it does not display the other information like CPU, disk,...
just like the BBWin client was not sending properly the information (and
I am sure the bbdisplay is well configured, so is the registry key) or
the information were misinterpreted by the server. Is there something to
do on the server side (besides adding the new client in bb-hosts) to
make it work with BBWin?

Thank you for any help on that topic.

I had no problem using the BBWin client. Just install it on the machine,
adapt the bbwin.cfg file and start the service. No change in bb-hosts
needed...

B.t.w: The hostname in your query (HOST=emarganne.bbwin ) looks a little
bit strange to me. Here is a sample query for a windows machine in my
environment:
http://my-hobbit-server/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=adm02&SERVICE=info
