Problem:
All sites are fully functional
I can run SSA & Monitor against all sites
But..when starting up Manager, it complains all the REMOTE Expansions system are offline and wants to
load stored configs only. NO access to the remote sites

I [highlight #8AE234]CAN[/highlight] Manage the [highlight #8AE234]Main Site Server Edition[/highlight] and it's associated [highlight #8AE234]Expansion System.[/highlight]
I [highlight #FCE94F]CAN'T[/highlight] manage the [highlight #FCE94F]Remote Expansion System or Secondary Server[/highlight]

Same issue whether I'm on site or VPN'ing into the customer.

Any help appreciated

Uncheck one random checkbox in Manager.
See attached.

>Preferences >SE Central Access [X] -Uncheck this

Help says:
Default = Off. Displayed on Server Edition systems only.
If On, all Server Edition systems in the network obtain their configuration data from a central location on the Primary Server. As a result, the display of configuration changes is delayed until a synchronization process runs. The synchronization process runs every 40 seconds. If the configuration change requires a system restart, a refreshed configuration display is delayed until 40 seconds after system restart.

This setting can be used to drive configuration changes into expansion systems when the expansion systems are not reachable through Manager and the only accessible system is the Primary Server.
