We want to setup IPMI sensor on a Windows server. Server Team informed me the user id and password for this sensor, but it shows "Could not create the sensor IPMI System Health BETA on device" after try to creating the sensor.
The .NET is already ver 4.7.2 on PRTG probe.
What should I further setup on PRTG or on the Winodws Server to be monitored? Thanks.

Dear Dariusz,
Thanks for your reply. I try on the probe with message:
"ipmiutil ver 2.96" "ihealth ver 2.96" "Cannot open an IPMI driver: imbdrv.sys or ipmidrv.sys" "ipmiutil health, cannot open IPMI driver"
Does the probe some file/driver missing? Thanks.

Dear Dariusz,
It is found if cmd use :
Ipmiutil.exe health -N IP.AD.DR.ES - U USERNAME -P PASW0RD
( i.e. "-n" is changed to "-N" )
It has another message :
ipmiutil ver 2.96
ihealth ver 2.96
Connecting to node IP.AD.DR.ES
ipmilan_open_session error, rv = -3
ipmilan receive from BMC failed
ipmi_open error = -3
ipmiutil health, receive from BMC failed
Thanks.

Hi there,
Sorry you are right, there was something with a capital N. Could you try the following command as well, this should output more debug information:
| Ipmiutil.exe health -N IP.AD.DR.ES - U USERNAME -P PASW0RD -x |
Best regards.

Hi Daniel,
It seems that IPMI is either not reachable or not available at all:
ipmilan_sendto(seq=0,clen=23) ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=0 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=1 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=2 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=3 _ipmilan_cmd[38]: rv = -3, cc=0 rs_len=205 ipmilan_sendto(seq=0,clen=23) ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=0 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=1 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=2 ipmilan_cmd timeout, after request, seq=0 itry=3
Best regards.

Hi there,
You can test the connection manually by using the "ipmiutil.exe" on the Core Server (or Remote Probe) under "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Sensor System\":
Does this work?
Best regards.
