Issue/Introduction

We are experiencing the following error when we attempt to start up the Provisioning Server.

This is a fresh install of the product.

Environment

Identity Manager 12.6
Identity Manager 14

Cause

This is caused due to files that were created prior to the install that were not removed during the uninstall process.

Resolution

This was resolved by doing the following.

1) Run the uninstaller for the provisioning server. There may be left over files that need to be removed before running the installer.

2) Check for any leftover files in the following locations. 

C:\Program Files\CA\Directory\dxserver\config\servers

"HOSTNAME-imps-router.dxi

C:\Program Files\CA\Directory\dxserver\config\knowledge

"HOSTNAME-imps-router.dxc"

** Warning - Only delete files you know that were created by the installer. These are what need to be removed before reinstalling the Provisioning Server. **

**Always make backup of the files before deleting anything. **
