{CACFileServer::OnRemoteInstall:#385}  - Failed to Push file server entry id on the file server. Error: user is not an Administrator on File Server

 

Cause

The issue occurs if the local Administrators group name on the EV Server is different from the name of the local Administrators group on the File Server. 

Resolution

The local Administrators group name can be changed on either File Server or the EV Server to match with the group name on the other server. 

Issue/Introduction

FSA Agent installation from the EV Admin console fails with an error in the DTrace that "user is not an Administrator on File Server" even when the user is part of the local administrators group on the File Server.
