  • 1.  SMS 7.1-gold installation error - Certificates

    Posted Mar 22, 2011 07:26 AM

    All,

    has anyone else seen this or am i just lucky?

    SIM 7.55 is installed and I've initiated the SMS Suite installation.

    Got all the way to the NS Configuration page:

    nscfg error

    I ensure that "Automatically create self-signed certificate" is selected, and upon clicking next, i receive:

    ns cert error

     

    This is stopping the whole installation - ideas to bypass/workaround/fix?

     

    thanks

     

    Richard

    update:

    This is the section in the SIM logs where it crashes:

    Support and I deleted the "Default Web Site" in IIS and recreated a new one called "altiris" with both 80 and 443 set up as http and https respectively. Still not exactly sure what was going on but error went away.

    Another great moment brought to you by the Symantec Installation Manager

    Thank you for sharing. I was getting frustrated.
