I reproduced the problem with a trace:
1. I started UMS client
2. I installed UMS as a Windows Service
3. I Quit UMS Client
4. I Started UMS service using the Windows Services panel
5. I started WD
6. I observed that WD could not "see" the UMS Server
7. I Stopped the UMS Windows Service ...

I just went though resolving an issue where UMS was not working. The fix was to update Java to the latest version.

- To make configuration/settings changes I open the UI in any one of the user accounts ...
