Situation
ERROR: Connect Exception: 15116. Check C:\Program
Files\Novell\Zenworks\Asset Management\DBTools\DBSetupLog.txt for
details.
The DBSetupLog.txt gives ERROR: Password validation
failed. The password does not meet Windows policy requirements
because it is too short.
Resolution
Disable the SQL Password Policy during the install of
ZAM. The password restrictions are set as a Windows, Domain,
or SQL policy. To disable, work with the Windows or Domain
administrator, or your Database Administrator.
This can be reenabled after ZAM is fully installed. This will allow the NCStartup user to be created with the password of tally. This is required for ZAM.
This can be reenabled after ZAM is fully installed. This will allow the NCStartup user to be created with the password of tally. This is required for ZAM.
Additional Information
The SQL Database has password restrictions in place. The
install of ZAM creates 2 users in the SQL Database. They
first is NCSystem (who is the dbo) with a password of tally,
and the other isNCStartup with a password of tally. During an
Enterprise install, it gives you the option to change the username
and/or password for the NCSystem account. It does not give
you the option to change the NCStartup user or its password.
NCStartup MUST have the password of tally, or ZAM will not work
properly.
The NCStartup user has select rights to the NC_NetCensusInfo
and NC_LoginInfo tables, and no other rights to the database.
