Troubleshooting Your Initial Configuration

If you encounter errors when you complete the Feature Configuration wizard in System Center Essentials, the following information might help in diagnosing and correcting the problem:

  • For more information describing any failures in configuring System Center Essentials features, refer to error log files at <%TEMP%>\SCECert*[#].log and <%TEMP%>\SCECert[#]*.log.txt.

  • If you chose to configure domain-level Group Policy, make sure the logged-in user account has Domain Administrator or Group Policy Administrator privileges.

  • If the configuration of error monitoring (also called Agentless Exception Monitoring) ended with an error, make sure that the logged-in user account has Administrator privileges on the computer whose drive was selected as the upload location for application error reports.
