Solution:
As stated in TEC603601, this is a result of Windows 8.3 directory/file notation.
As indicated in the CA SDM Release Notes documentation, it is mandatory to enable 8.3 directory/file notation on Windows prior to the CA SDM installation.
To verify if Windows 8.3 directory/file notation is indeed enabled, the Microsoft FSUTIL command can be used.
For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\Service Desk Manager>FSUTIL.EXE 8dot3name query C: The volume state for Disable8dot3 is 0 (8dot3 name creation is enabled). The registry state of NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 2, the default (Volume level setting).
Based on the above two settings, 8dot3 name creation is enabled on C:.
If Windows 8.3 directory/file notation is NOT enabled, you must uninstall CA SDM (including deleting the CA SDM installation directory - NX_ROOT), enable 8.3 directory/file notation and then reinstall CA SDM. For the steps to enable 8.3 directory/file notation within the Windows Server OS, please contact your Windows Administrator or refer to the Online Help and support documentation for your Windows Operating System.
If you have confirmed that Windows 8.3 directory/file notation IS enabled, try the following:
