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

Source:  ZENworks Server Management; Server 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. For more information, see Installation User Rights.

Action:  Reinstall Server Inventory. For more information, see Installation on NetWare and Windows

Action:  If the problem persists, contact Novell Support.
