HI Jeff, Thanks for the info, we have resolved the problem. We re-installed the IT Assistant and re-configured all settings. We had to increase the heap size on Java from 256 to 512 because there were just to many servers it was trying to contact.   Lyle.
 Software updates keep timing out  when used in IT Assistant 8.7. I have increased the time-out in user preferences to 10 minutes (which is the maximum). Still receiving the same error. All our servers communicate through the IT assistant, so I dont know if its because of the large amount of machines on our network or whats causing it. +- 196 servers.   Any suggestions. Lyle
