Situation

Automated imaging finds no work to do.
During installation of the ZDM7 SP1 a Java login window appears. User is unable to put in login credentials.
DNS is not configured in the network environment.
Installation log says that the installation was successful.

Resolution

Workaround:

  • Fix DNS so its consistant with hostname lookups- both short name and long
    name reverse and forward lookups or
  • Insert the names ( again shortname and longname) into the local machines
    hosts file
