I am having a problem in the Configuration Wizard.

The issues listed in this article have been encountered while completing the Configuration Wizard. When available, a resolution or workaround is provided. If the problem you are having is not addressed in this article, please submit a technical support ticket.

Issue: While completing the Configuration Wizard, I see the following error:

Database Configuration failed:

Failure importing old maps
Failure importing sample map

Resolution: To resolve this issue, see the article http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1631 in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.

Issue: The Configuration Wizard seems to be hanging without completing.
Resolution: There are a number of reasons that the Configuration Wizard might appear to be hanging during configuration:

Frequently, the Configuration Wizard is merely completing a lengthy update of the Syslog and traps tables in the Orion database. The length of time required for this update is dependent on a number of factors, including the size of the Syslog and traps tables themselves and both the capacity and performance of the SQL server hosting your Orion database. For more information about maintaining the size of your Syslog and traps tables, see this article in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.
If you are not able to trace the issue to a large Syslog or traps table, it may be helpful to confirm that the IPv4 Large Send Offload option is disabled for all network cards (NICs) on both your Orion server and your SQL Server. For more information about disabling the IPv4 Large Send Offload, see this article in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.

Issue: While completing an upgrade of Orion NPM on an additional polling engine, I see the following error:

Services configuration failed:

Can not change dependencies of 'SWJobSchedulerSvc'
Error starting Service (SWJobSchedulerSvc), Service SWJobSchedulerSvc was not found on computer '.'.

Resolution: By design, the Job Scheduler Service is not installed on Orion NPM Additional Polling Engines. In a standard installation, the Configuration Wizard will attempt to locate both the Job Engine and the Job Scheduler Service. These are not duplicated on additional polling engines, so this error may be ignored.

Issue: While completing the Configuration Wizard, I see the following error:

Website configuration failed:

Failure updating ASP.NET script maps

Resolution: The ASP.NET script mapping must be updated. For more information, see the article http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1634 in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.

Issue: The Configuration Wizard is unable to delete a specific SQL user.
Resolution: This issue is resolved by using the SQL Server sa account to create a new database user account for Orion NPM. For more information, see this article in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.

Issue: The Configuration Wizard is displaying an Error 500.
Resolution: This error may be seen when Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Orion NPM are installed and enabled on the same server. For more information, see this article in the SolarWinds Knowledge Base.

Issue: Website configuration failed: IIS does not support ASP.NET 2.0; the IIS installation may be corrupt, or you may not have permission to modify IIS configuration settings.
Resolution: This error occurs when the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (aspnet_regiis.exe) is not able to completely associate ASP.NET with IIS. Symantec applications with Symantec Enterprise Protection (SEP) Application and Device Control enabled have been known to block aspnet_regiis.exe from initializing.
To correct this issue:

If Symantec Enterprise Protection (SEP) is installed on your Orion Server, disable the SEP Application and Device Control. For more information about a similar operation, see "How to: Disable the SysPlant / SysGuard drivers on SPA clients without manually editing the registry" at www.symantec.com.
If SEP is not installed or the solution above does not work, complete the following steps:
1. Open a command prompt on your Orion server.
2. Run c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i, where c:\Windows\ is the default .NET install directory.
3. Run the Configuration Wizard (Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Configuration and Auto-Discovery > Configuration Wizard) again.

Issue: When running the Configuration Wizard on an Additional Polling Engine, either of the following errors occur:

The Information Service on the primary Orion server is not running. Please start this service before continuing.
ERROR InfoServiceProxy - An error occured opening a connection to the orion communication service. System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: No DNS entries exist for host orion. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known at System.Net.Dns.GetAddrInfo(String name) at System.Net.Dns.InternalGetHostByName(String hostName, Boolean includeIPv6) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(String hostNameOrAddress) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.DnsCache.Resolve(String hostName)

Resolution: This error indicates that your additional polling engine is unable to connect to the primary Orion server.
To address this condition:

Confirm that Windows firewall is not blocking communications to and from both the Additional Polling Engine and your primary Orion server. For more information about open ports required by Orion products, see Port Requirements for SolarWinds Products.
If Windows firewall was blocking required ports, confirm that the blocked ports are open, and then run the Configuration Wizard again.
If the error persists, from the additional polling engine, ping both the hostname and IP address of your primary Orion server.
If your primary Orion server does not respond to your ping requests, confirm that you have network connectivity between your Additional Polling Engine and your primary Orion server.
If your primary Orion server does respond to your ping requests, confirm that the name and IP address of your primary Orion server are present in the hosts file on your Additional Polling Engine, as indicated in the following steps:
1. Navigate to the hosts file on your Additional Polling Engine.
  Note: The default location is Volume:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2. Open the hosts file in a text editor.
3. Add the IP address and hostname of your primary Orion server, as indicated in the comments within the hosts file.
If the error persists after confirming both that Windows firewall is open on all required ports and that the IP address and hostname of your primary Orion server are included in the hosts file of your Additional Polling Engine, submit a technical support ticket.

Issue: While completing the Configuration Wizard, I see the following error:

Unable to start SWIS ('System.FormatException')

This issue is caused by a corruption in the performance counter library values that are in the registry of your Orion server.
Resolution: To fix this issue, follow the steps provided in the Microsoft Support article, "How to manually rebuild Performance Counter Library values".

Issue:The Configuration Wizard hangs while validating the NetPerfMon service with the following error:

[6] ERROR InfoServiceProxy - An error occured opening a connection to the orion communication service.
 System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: No DNS entries exist for host ComputerName. --->
 System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known at System.Net.Dns.GetAddrInfo(String name)

Resolution: If you are installing an Orion product on Windows Server 2003 and the Configuration Wizard has stopped unexpectedly, confirm that your full computer name is no longer than 15 characters in length. Windows Server 2003 trims any characters beyond the fifteenth, and this may prevent Orion services from properly identifiying your Orion server.

Issue:The Configuration Wizard generates the following error:

ERROR ConfigurationProgressScene - Exception while configuring plugin Orion Core Services component Orion Information Service. System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Access is denied.

Resolution: To correct this error, submit a technical support ticket, requesting a license reset. You will need to provide diagnsotics to confirm that this is indeed your issue.
