FMServer 9 not responding

[DataMate]

I recently updated 2 clients to FMS 9 and have now invested more time trying to get the things to work that I'm ready to convert them back to FMS8.

1. The first conversion (Winblows 2003) seemed to go well, everything go up and running all by itself and then I went to set up the schedules and I got one done and the rest would not run. and now it won't even start up the stupid admin console so I cant do anything at all.

2.. The second client (Mac X serve), I got expert help uninstalling FMS8 including all the stuff we are not told about, Installed 9 and it seems ok. Problem is FMS9 is not responding when I want to disconnect clients of close databases.. I got them closed once alright and had to use back ups as it killed all the files. Frankly I'm so sick of FMS9... I have read a bunch of issues and can't find stuff on what I'm getting and would like some direction on where I can find more stuff to read on this. I guess my biggest issue is that there comes a time when you have to upgrade and FMS8 was very stable and I have no issues at all.
