Update: Farm Monitor Gadget – Windows 7
The Farm Monitor gadget has been updated to work correctly with Windows 7 Beta.
You can get the updated files here:

I am working to add features to the gadget and would love to hear any suggestions. I am planning to recode the MFCOM pieces into C# and expose it via a COM object. This should give a bit more power for any multi farm processing that needs to be done.
If you have any thoughts/comments please post them here or shoot me an email at "nick (at) nickholmquist.com"

I can’t get this to work. It just says:
“Unable to create Farm object 429. ActiveX component can’t create object”. It’s on a vista business edition machine that has access to the xenapp server. I put the IP address in the config.

Rick,
Did you install the XenApp SDK on your machine?

I can’t get it work currectly.
After i put the Name of the Server the Farm Name appears, but i doesn’t get any other information. No Server- or Usercount and no load informations.
The SDK is installed in Version 4.5. But at the installation the failure appears “the system does not have a supported c++ compiler”.
But it is an MS C++ 2008 compilerparrt installed.

Hi Nick, I have the same problem as Michael described on 22nd Sep. In the top of the Gadget I see the name of our Farm, but i don’t see any count of servers, Sessions or farmload. I get the same message in the end of the installation of the SDK as Michael. The version I installed was the SDK 5.0 on a Windows 7 System. Have you a solution?

Hey, I am running into the same issue as Michael and Fabian. I see the name of the farm but no information. I checked the settings on “An Administrators Viewpoint: Configuring DCOM for MFCOM”. Everything looks correct. Do you need a C++ compiler?

I am working on an updated version to resolve all the issues and add more features. The problem is that it is 4th on the list of items to complete.
