817: An internal error occurred while creating rights for the scandir directory on the server server_name

Source:  ZENworks Desktop Management; Workstation Inventory installation on NetWare servers

Severity:  Critical

Explanation:  The Installation program assigns the [Root] as a trustee of the scandir directory with Create, Erase, and Write rights. This error occurs if the Installation program is unable to assign these rights to scandir.

Action:  Ensure that you have logged in to the server as an administrator or with the equivalent administrator rights.

Action:  Reinstall Workstation Inventory. For more information, see Reinstalling Workstation Inventory on NetWare and Windows Servers.

Action:  If the problem persists, contact Novell Support.
