I could see the management page once, but loading the applet failed, and then the web service seemed to die. My attempts to restart the service failed as well, hanging while attempting to stop. Server reboots produced the same behavior every time. I assume this must be unusual, since I see no other questions about it. The only unusual aspect of my configuration that I can see is that my management server is booted from a non-C drive. Is that a problem? It might be, for example, if there is a hard-coded reference to the C drive in the service. It isn't a show-stopper if that is the case - I could blow away the existing C drive and reinstall everything there if I have to - but I'd rather not if there is some other explanation.

The problem appeared to be that the date on my management server was off by about a week, and your license manager objected that my trial license wasn't valid yet. When I was using a separate management network, VI died before it had a chance to complain; but when I switched to a purely public network, it managed to gasp out a message. Once I fixed the date, I could put the management network back on, and everything went smoothly enough from there. Thanks again for the offer, though!
