The following table lists general problems associated with Avaya one-X Agent.

Problem description Recommended action
The desktop sharing feature of Avaya one-X Agent, uses WinVnc.exe. However, it is possible that another instance of WinVnc.exe is already running on the computer. An agent must login with the IM credentials. Avaya one-X Agent searches for an already running WinVnc process. If Avaya one-X Agent finds an existing WinVnc process, it tries to stop it and launches the required WinVnc process.

In some instances, Avaya one-X Agent cannot stop the WinVnc process, if it does not have permission to do so, as it may be running under a different user name. In this case, the system displays the following error message:

Screen Share feature will be disabled since a winvnc process is already running. Press yes to continue without Screen Share feature. Else End the winvnc process using task manager and Press no to use Screen Share feature.

At this stage, if you click Yes, the system disables the desktop share feature. However, if you click No, Avaya one-X Agent checks for an already running process, and if found it shows the same error message.
