That was also my point. Actually the first patch that needed the X client to install was I believe patch 5 or 6 for ITSM 7. Back then I was working at a client where for 'ordinary' people, such as external consultants as myself, it was not allowed to install anything on your Windows based workstation without the desktop team testing it and all that. I went to a lot of trouble trying to set up a local X server but it just wasn't working right. Then I just gave up, and got some coffee for the system administrator who was sitting on the other floor, with his Ubuntu workstation. All it took him was just an "ssh -X remedyserver.mycorp.local" and we could do the installation. So, I guess, the standard toolkit of the Remedy consultant or administrator should now be expanded with either a package like Cygwin, an expensive solution like Hummingbird, a free Linux VMWare as Axton mentioned -- or just a good relationship with the system administrator. -- Michiel Beijen Software Consultant +31 6 - 457 42 418 Bee Free IT + http://beefreeit.nl On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 21:39, Axton <[email protected]> wrote: > ** This is a packaging of cygwin that is designed to work as a local X > server. > http://x.cygwin.com/ > > The directions are fairly straight forward: > http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/cygwin-x-ug.html > > I've found it easier to use a Linux workstation or Linux within VMWare if a > separate workstation is not available. > > Axton Grams > > The opinions, statements, and/or suggested courses of action expressed in > this E-mail do not necessarily reflect those of BMC Software, Inc.
