Issue/Introduction

If SEPM administrator's username is for example: TestUser and the administrator tried to reset the password for testuser, SEPM will not send the reset password email to the configured mailbox.

Similar logging will be seen in %TEMP%/scm-ui-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-***.log:

DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS  STDOUT: GUIManager>> resetPassword>> ResetPassword is invoked for userName: testuser

....

DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS LoggerUtilities STDERR: Exception:
com.sygate.scm.console.util.ConsoleException: Invalid admin name. [0x81080000]

Resolution

Resetting password functionality in SEPM is case-sensitive, hence the SEPM administrator has to type the administrator username as it was created initially and stored in SEPM.
