Crossbrand - NetFinity Process Manager cannot set alert for single name processes

Applicable to: World-Wide

Question:
Process Manager cannot generate an alert for the kernel processes that start under Windows NT, even though the NT Task Manager shows quite clearly that a change has occurred. Do I have to put something special in the process name so that NetFinity's Process Manager can recognize them?

Explanation:
Once NFPROC.DLL loads, which happens when the NetFinity Support program inits, it sits in memory and attaches a handle to any other processes that start after it does. This handle allows it to detect when a process has ended. Processes that start before the NFPROC load cannot be detected, since a handle has not been attached to them.

NOTE: There is NO work around for this and there will be no versions of NetFinity that will support it.
