Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

In this particular instance, the customer had a failed repair of his SMP Server. Some configuration fails didn't properly add the required references needed for his security context.

Resolution

Since a repair on the SMP failed previously, we ran a re-configure of the SMP and its RU version using SIM:

  1. Open SIM
  2. Click on "Repair installed products"
  3. Select "Reconfigure installed products". Click Next.
  4. Select "Symantec Management Platform 8.x RUx" (or whatever Roll Up you have). Click Next.
  5. Click Configure and let the repair to finish.
