While performing this upgrade using the latest download GSS 2.0.1 executable (6th July), I get the following error message: Cannot copy database file, update failed. Please consult readme.txt.
Reading this, I found the section re running a VB script to retrieve the database username and password. I copied the script from the readme.txt, pasted it into notepad, and saved as passwordutility.vbs into the ghost install directory. (C:\program files\symantec\ghost) on the server 2003 std edition server. I then opened a command prompt at this location, and tried running passwordutility.vbs. However, an error occurred in line 4 char 3 - remote procedure call failed. Code 800706BE. Here is the VBScript as passwordutility.vbs:
' Access the Configuration Server service's root COM scripting object
set server = CreateObject("ConfigServer.Application")
' Get the database configuration object from the configuration server
set dbInfo = server.ConfigDatabase
' Obtain the current database username and password
user = dbInfo.Username
pass = dbinfo.Password
set args = WScript.Arguments
if args.Count = 0 then
WScript.Echo "User: " & user
WScript.Echo "Password: " & pass
elseif args.Count = 1 then
pass = args.item(0)
call dbInfo.SetCredentials (user, pass)
WScript.Echo "User: " & user
WScript.Echo "Password set to: " & pass
elseif args.count = 2 and args.item(0) = "dba" then
pass = args.item(1)
call dbInfo.SetCredentials ("dba", pass)
WScript.Echo "DBA Password set to: " & pass
end if
Hence the GSS database is not updated with the extra fields added by ver. 2.0.1. and the GSS config server thus shuts down.
