Created attachment 148684 [details] the patch This could solve the issue.
(following on issue 239836) Visible manifestation of inability to correctly handle multiple autoregistered GF instances are messed up server properties of other than first registered server. Typical scenario to encounter the problem is to have one GF server installed from previous NB bundle (NB 8.0 + GF 4.0) and install a newer bundle (NB 8.0.1 + GF 4.1). In this situation, installer prepares config for automatic registration of both servers. Both servers are registered successfully. This first one in the config will behave properly. The second one will be affected with following problems: Checkboxes in Common Properties of the server will have different default values. On NB restart, following Common Properties are being reset to default: "Enable Comet Support" and "Enable HTTP Monitor" to false "Enable JDBC Driver Deployment" to true Adding multiple server instances manually won't result in these problems. This issue affects only automatic post-install registration.
