    You all set me on the right path. It wasn't spaces, it was line returns.

    I opened my zap file in NotePad++ (instead of Notepad) and saw that there was an extra line return. I removed the extra line return and it stopped complaining about the Directory name.

Hi, 

are you using the alias or the hostname of the ev-server for DirectoryComputerName? Have you tried both? 

File is saved as Unicode? Which version of EV are you using?

You could create a dtrace of the evpm process and share an abstract from it with us. 

 

Regards

Marc

Hello,

I had this years ago, and it puzzled me to madness.

Eventually, I found (and I do not recall exact, but it was one of the two) that the DirectoryServer has a space behind the name in DNS or in the Directory database (not sure anymore which one).

    seems right. for some reason "hbsevarch.mydomain.com" has a space before its name (it has 4 instead of 3 spaces, compare it to the other ones)
