Résolution
When this problem occurs we need to modify the configure.cfg file. If default paths are used, it can be found in:
Linux: /usr/netvault/config/
Windows: C:\Program Files\Quest\NetVault\config
The [Details] stanza within the configure.cfg file should be corrected to have "Server" with capital "S" as shown below:
[Details]
Server = FALSE
nv_vendor = Quest
