Version
6.x, 7.0.0.x and 7.0.1.2254 (and lower)
Issue
The Bit9 notifier is not launching on a Windows 2003 server when a file block occurs.
Symptoms
The Bit9 notifier is not launching and this shows on the trace.bt9 file, while high debug level is enabled. When the problem was reproduced the following error occured:
"NotifierClientThread::BroadcastNotifier: WTSEnumerateSessions failed Error[000006A6]
Cause
The Bit9 agent uses WTS (Windows Terminal Services) API to discover the relationship between session IDs and signed on users to launch the Bit9 notifier in the correct session. However, these calls fail if the Terminal Server service is disabled.
Solution
The issue will be fixed on 7.0.1 Patch 18 or 7.2.0 Patch 6.
In the mean time, the work around is to enable the Terminal Server service.
