I've attempted to install App Volumes Version 2.12.1 and 2.13.1. in both cases I get the same error after the installation is completed.
When I launch the desktop shortcut to access the App Volumes Manager "The Item 'App Volumes Manager.url' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."
I have tried all of the suggestions above, I was wondering anyone ran into this issue and has a different solution.
I'm using a remote SQL server (although di attempt a test with the SQL Express install along with the App Volumes install).
Using a Service Account for the App Volume install.
ODBC connection to the database with the same service account.
SQL database - the service account is a dbo on the pre created database and sysadmin.
I switched to using the SQL SA account and the install not only completed but the desktop shortcut also works. I can also browse from another machine https://AppVolumesFQDN:443/
Please make sure that your account has local administrator privileges for installing App Volumes Manager.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm using a domain service account which has been added to the local administrators group on the App Volumes server. I also used the same account as the dbo on the SQL db and the ODBC connection.
You able to connect to the manager? Just browse to the server using either http or https.
Neither of those work.
Crazy question.. does IIS need to be installed?
No,it is not.
Are you following similar steps as described here to install it ? -> http://www.thevirtualist.org/vmware-app-volumes-manager-2-11-install-configure/
That icon is just a shortcut to https://your_appvolumemanager_fqdn, can you try opening it directly on a browser ?
No I can not browse to https://your_appvolumemanager_fqdn.
