Welcome to the extraxi blog...

If you found this page accidentally and don't know what extraxi is about... we specialise in reporting solutions for the Cisco Secure ACS and Funk SBR access control servers (aka AAA servers).

The servers are predominantly used to secure network services such as dial, wireless lan, vpn, firewall and network device management.

Typically these servers just chuck out MBs of raw CSV log data about network activity. What we do is to help collect this data then import and turn it into useable information.

Installing aaa-reports! with Terminal Services

As with any other application, to install on Windows Terminal Server you should do one of two things:
  1. Use "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel to launch the application installer rather than just double-click the setup.exe, or
  2. From the command line type "change user /install" before running the setup.

Either of one of these will put the server into install mode and will ensure that installed components and registry changes are made for all users.

Failure to do one of the above will result in the application not functioning correctly for other users because DLLs will not be installed into the global Windows\System32 folder but instead into your own personnal folder under Documents and Settings.

We recommend using the Add/Remove Programs method as is by far the simplest and future proofed.
