Only for printing. What tasks are you referring to? There are many shortcuts in Emerald 4 that most people don't know about. Also, we might be able to recommend a better/easier way to do things if you let us know what you are doing. :)

Is the scheduler running? Check the services manager and see. The Service name is "Emerald Task Scheduler". The configuration server is apart of the scheduler, not a seperate task/service.

See above for scheduler.

The 4.5.2 patch fixes this.

Use the Map attribute options in the Emerald Admin, RADIUS, Attributes section to Map the Ascend connect attributes to the RADIUS standard Connect-Info attribute and RadiusNT/X will handle the rest for you. You can only map one of the two Ascend attributes (ascend has one for upstream and one for downstream).

Yes. 4.5 with the 4.5 EmerAuth is fully compatable with Imail 7. Please note that EmerAuth 4.5.1 is required for Imail 7.0, whereas EmerAuth 4.5.2 is required for IMail 7.1. You CAN NOT get those two swapped of your IMail services will not work.

What you would want to do is configure a generic Credit Card format and go through the normal export procedures to write the file. Then just ignore the file and don't bother with an import. When you do the manual payment on the account DO NOT do a CC or ACH manual payment, as that will just put another entry in etrans and not make a payment on the account.

Do you mean a payment receipt report? The 4.5.2 patch fixes a CC/ACH payment receipt problem, but I don't think that is what you are talking about.
