Environment

Novell File Management Suite Dynamic File Services

Situation

During the install of Novell Dynamic File Services, the installation process does does not create the NDFS-Servername object.

Resolution

Uninstall NDFS and reinstall using the Domain Admin account.

Cause

We have found that this occurs when you are logged in as the server admin rather than the domain admin.

After the install, go to services and click on the dynamic service and see what it is logged in as.  If it is to the local box and not the domain, then the wrong admin was used for the initial install.
