Version 4.0.0.4
If the head end PC in a seamless deployment crashes (Windows), there is a 50/50 chance the remote PCs will not be able to connect once the head end PC is back online. The only resolution is to restart the multiplicity service on the remote PCs which may be difficult if they are in a headless configuration.

Do you mean in KVM not seamless?

I mean in seamless mode. If my main PC I control everything from crashes, at least 1 of the 5 remote PCs will not connect once the main PC is rebooted. The only fix is to reboot the remote PC or restart the multiplicity service on it.

I am confused as you mentioned them being headless which would mean not having displays?

Sorry that was my mistake. They do have displays attached, yes. I use a cheap keyboard/mouse receiver so Windows thinks there is an interface device attached, but I do not have any local access to the PCs and their monitors are remote via fiber optic HDMI, so accessing them directly to restart the service is not trivial. But they are all on the grid.

Have you tried installing 4.01 on EACH MP PC?
