Bim Servername appering two times when opening project.

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:44:15 GMT

When I'm prompted to choose BIM Server There's two of them.
One of them is called: BIMSERVER1.S111.local.
The other one is called: bimserver1.

There´s only one bimserver installed att our office and it´s named BIMSERVER1 on a dedicated server.

Why is this and has anybody else seen this?
What am i doing wrong?

This is a bit scary as there are two sets of project on C:\ with different status, one with unsent changes, and the other not. When I first noticed this the BIMSERVER1.S111.local was not offline and Date modified was displayed with the exact same date and time as for projects on bimserver1.

As for now I left all the projects, discarded all changes as I know I haven´t done anything in the projects, and deleted bimserver1 from the list in BIM Server Manager. This procedure deleted the project folders from C:\ and left me with only BIMSERVER1.S11.local.

But what if a user has been working in the project? How do I proceed?
How do I know which project needs send and receive?

Help please.

The ".local" suffix usually appears when the machine you are running the BIM Server on is the machine you are running ArchiCAD on.
But if it is on a dedicated server, this is probably not the case.
I would suggest you to contact your local reseller with this problem.
