    Hello.

    I’m trying to evaluate Muster for use at my University. I’ve downloaded 5.5.3 but I am having some trouble getting it to work.

    I am trying to install it on Windows XP. I have one VM which I would like to use as the Dspatcher and one Dell precision 470 as the render client.

    I have encountered two problems so far.

    1. On the VM, the installer cannot find my AD domain. When I enter the account as DOMAINusername I get the error “Server not found. Verify that the specified server exists. The server name cannot be empty”. If I click “browse…”, and enter the server name or IP, I get the same error. If I click “Browse…” again I get the error “The list is empty”.

    2. On the Dell workstation, the installation proceeds correctly, but neither the renderclient or dispatcher service will start. If I try to start them manually through “Computer Management” I get the error “Could not start the Muster Dispathcer Service 5 service on Local Computer. Error 1069: The service did not start due to a login failure”

    Do you have any advice about how I should proceed?

    thanks

    I have resolved the problem with the services not starting – of course it would happen immediately after I post my problem!

    Still stumped by the VM though. Is there a way I can use VMs in my test environment?

    Sure, just install using the “Local System Account”, then change the Logon features in the services control panel applet according,

    Cheers!

    Same problem occurs with the eval install of Muster 6.0 Beta 1.
    Same environment (same company)
    Still no idea what is stopping it. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Possible port blocking?
    cheers

    Unfortunately the user discovery issue is Installshield-related and there’s little we can do about that. As I suggested before, skip the user creation/discovery, use the local system account, and then assign the user manually in the services control panel applet.
