Since going to FMS 15 (Win 2008 R2), I often get a webDirect style timeout on the admin console. I used to be able to leave it running and come back to it.

Any suggestions?

it was never a good idea to leave the admin console open and running... very often it would not update correctly and you'd need to restart the "adminserver" part of FMS.

Thanks Wim, I will only keep it open when in use.

As Wim noted, the Admin Console is not intended to be left open for long periods of time. What are you trying to monitor?  There may be another way to do it.

I leave it open just because I didn't realise there was a reason to close it. I use it to swap old files for newer versions, to see who's connected at busy times and how much WD activity there is, to monitor the WebDirect traffic and see what a larger number of users does to WD performance...I guess I should be learning to use the logs for that :-)

I've always gotten a "session expired" message after a relatively short period of time. This is what I've come to expect. I use the admin console to get a view of what's currently happening or happened then log out. Works for me.
