I moved my power-home software over to my Windows Small Business Server 2003 machine. When I go to run it, the PLC connects and disconnects, over and over again. I reinstalled Power-home into a new directory with new DB and now I get the error when starting up, just after is asks my name for registration...
An error occured while creating the script server: -3
Any had any success with running this on SBS 2003?

I am running on WHS which is a stripped down version of SBS 2003. (no exchange and other tools...) But I believe others have had it running on 2003

OK... since no one seems to have the problem... does anyone have any pointers as to how I can begin to troubleshoot this. My previous setup on a 2000 machine connected fine. Now, PH appears to either not connect or it connects and drops over and over. Any logs I can look at or test I can run? Thank you for any help.

I dont know if it matters but do you have a USB or serial PLC?
I know Power home uses the insteon SDM for communications have you tried a diffrent version of the SDM?
Can you actually get into PH and disable the PLC to verify this is the problem? Ats this sounds like it may not be... (script server: -3 error)
Check your windows firewall and verify it is not blocking (or should I say allowing) PH and the DB program running?

I did a reinstall of SBS 2003 and the script server error appears to have gone away. I carried over my old PH DB and put in the DB directory. Started PH... it appears fine, but hangs a while before it gives the "isresponding error". I am using the 2414S (serial)Insteon PLC. I looked in the SDM logs and it shows this:
downloadTimer started
timerActivate enabled
downloadTimer started
timerActivate not enabled
PLC:isresponding=False
downloadTimer started
timerActivate not enabled
PLC:isresponding=False
Everything worked fine when I was running it with Win 2000 on the same machine... but now that I reinstalled and went to SBS 2003... it won't connect.
Thank you.

Ok...I gave up on trying to get the PLC to work with SBS 2003 and moved it to an XP machine... same issues.. the machine I had it working on was a windows 2000 machine. Could hooking it up to a server machine done something to the PLC so that now it doesn't make a connection? HELP.

Check this info from Dave...
Version 11 has both SDM 235 and SDM 308. For those that haven't figured out how to switch, navigate to the Device Manager directory beneath the PowerHome directory. You'll see a couple of BAT files, 235.bat and 308.bat. Shut PowerHome down and make sure that the SDM is shutdown as well and then just run the BAT file for the version you want. After changing versions, manually launch the SDM3.exe, let it start and connect to PLC, and then shut it down before launching PowerHome. This insures that everything is registered properly

OK... finally figured out what my problem was... everytime I move my PLC to a new computer SDM defaults to run off a usb port... I had to go to the SDM logs... type DM, then type GETPORT to see which port it was pointed to... then type PORT=COM2 in my case for a serial 2414S PLC. Thanks.

This is usually 90% of the problems with the SDM. Sometimes it's so bad, that I actually have to go into the registry and set the port directly because the GETPORT command won't do it. Anytime anybody tells me they are getting an "isresponding=false", the port setting is the first thing I look at.
Dave.
