I've now successfully updraded to NCM v7 standalone. thanks to Solarwinds for the input on the right strategy.
My question is the standalone version has a full NPM poller installed as well and its monitoring all the nodes for status but I already have 2 NPMs doing this job already so how can I disable status monitoring with NCM v7, it was just a button on the tool bar in v6.1 but that's not there anymore?
Thanks
Jon
