For network configuration, especially with multiple Ethernet cards, it may be a good idea to update the HOST file on each workstation.

Hey, I was struggling with a gray screen in one of my clients screen, just remove the dash and boom, thank you a lot for the information
Siemens should include the dash under the restricted characters for computer name

Hey, thanks for the very useful content! My question isn't directly related to this video, but I'm hoping you can help me. I'm using WinCC 8.0 Update 5 on Windows Server 2022 and working with the web client. Everything works fine initially, but after some time (a few hours), the clients are unable to connect anymore—they get stuck at 'connecting to server.' On the status page, I noticed that some floating licenses are used multiple times, even though the web client isn’t started multiple times on the PC. The only way to resolve the issue is to stop the runtime, close the project, and restart the IIS server. Unfortunately, Siemens support hasn't been able to assist us. Have you encountered this issue before, and do you have any tips or tricks to fix it? Thanks a lot!

Dear, it could be good to meet your channel before long time lost trying to configure a client-server configuration in a new environment with 4.7... :( . Thanks for all the guides and videos that you are sharing, I really appreciate it. Putting enfasis in the configuration of the user for the client, let me explain you a situation that we are facing: we are using a adminsitrator user to login from the clietn to the server and all the runtime is activating and we can see the main screen from the client, but when we try to interact with other windows in the runtime is not working (no message) do you know if it could be related with the permissions of this user?

In my project, there are many internal tags, these tags are used in reports. If i unselected the tag in report designer, then the sql query window will get active, other wise tag window in report designer is active.My question here is these tags will be used anywhere in global script in the project or to store the sql query output?

Hello Bob. Off-topic, but I need your help. I am logging some tags in Wincc7.5 but in the online table, older values suddenly vanished by themself. Now I can only see the values for past 1 week or so. I believe it may be because the archive size is too small. How can I increase its size? (Or is there a way to recover the values I lost/ make them reappear in the tables and trends)
