When troubleshooting fails to address problems with unresponsive SCM components, follow the steps below to repair the SCM components in your deployment.
Steps to repair SCM components
1.Log in to the primary SCM Server. For example, log in to SCMSVR using the SCM Administrator credentials (mydomain\scmadmin).
2.Unzip the install media files to a suitable folder.
NOTE: You must use the same version of the install media that was used in your deployment. |
3.Click the windows installer file Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager.exe. The Welcome to SCM Setup Wizard opens.
4.Click Next. The Program Maintenance window opens. Select Repair.
5.If the cluster certificate or license is invalid, you will be prompted to provide the file path or license key respectively. Click OK to import the cluster certificate. Otherwise Click Next.P
6.The Service Account Credentials window opens. Enter the password if the server uses the Domain account setting.
7.Click Next. The SQL Server Information window opens. Verify the information in the window.
8.Click Next. The Service Bus Connection Information window opens. verify the information shown in the RabbitMQ connection string field.
9.Click Next. The Ready to Install window opens.
10.Click Install. Each SCM component is removed and re-installed. If the installation is successful, the SCM Setup Wizard Completed window opens.
11.Click Finish to exit the wizard.
This topic describes two methods to uninstall SCM components.
Steps to uninstall SCM components with the SCM windows installer
Steps to manually uninstall all SCM components
Steps to uninstall SCM components with the SCM windows installer
1.Log in to the computer designated as the SCM Server.
2.Unzip the install media files to a suitable folder.
3.Click the windows installer file Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager.exe. If the User Account Control window opens, click Yes and the Welcome to SCM Setup Wizard opens.
4.Click Next. The Program Maintenance window opens. Select Remove.
5.Click Next. The Remove the Program window opens.
6.Click Remove. If the removal is successful, the SCM Setup Wizard Completed window opens.
7.Click Finish to exit the wizard.
NOTES: 1.Third party components like Erlang and RabbitMQ must be manually uninstalled. 2.The SCM databases cannot be removed with the SCM windows installer. To remove the SCM databases you could delete the databases using Microsoft SQL Server tools. 3.In a standalone deployment, all SCM components except the SCM databases and certificates are removed. 4.In a distributed deployment: a.Only the components from the computer are removed where the SCM windows installer is being used. For example, if the removal steps are followed on the SCM Server only the SCM components installed on the SCM Server are removed. If dedicated servers are used for other services, then these components must be removed separately from each of those servers. b.The shared folder is not removed. This folder must be deleted manually to ensure that sensitive files are disposed carefully. |
Steps to manually uninstall all SCM components
NOTE: Take a backup of the SCM databases if you plan to remove components. |
For a standalone SCM installation
1.Navigate to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features.
2.Uninstall SCM.
3.Remove all SCM IIS application pools and sites.
4.Stop and remove the SCM Windows services.
5.Delete the temporary file storage folder.
6.Delete the installation folder.
7.Restart the computer.
For a distributed SCM installation
1.Log in to the SCM Server and navigate to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features.
a.Uninstall SCM.
b.Remove all SCM IIS application pools and sites.
c.Stop and remove the SCM Windows services.
d.Delete the shared temporary file storage folder.
e.Delete the installation folder.
f.Restart the computer.
2.Log in to each server that has an instance of the SCM Windows service
a.Navigate to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features.
b.Uninstall SCM.
c.Stop and remove the SCM Windows service.
d.Restart the computer.
The first step in solving an installation issue is to trace the source of the issue through the installer.log file which is created during each install attempt in the same folder where your installation file is located. The troubleshooting messages listed below will help you identify some of the most common issues during the install process and are grouped into installation categories:

The expected space requirement is approximately double the size of the physical RAM. For example, if you have 32GB of RAM then you must have 64GB of available space on the SQL Server database drive. You can clear some unused files to recover the required space. |
The setup process cannot continue because a previous installation of RabbitMQ was performed by user '<UserName>'. You can either log in as '<UserName>' and restart the installer or contact your Quest Technical Support to relocate the RabbitMQ base folder. |
This message appears when the installer detects that the user who originally installed RabbitMQ is not the user who is attempting the SCM upgrade. You can choose from two options: ·Log in as the original user and run the installer again to repair or upgrade SCM. ·Run the PowerShell script to relocate the RabbitMQ base folder from the previous user's %APPDATA% folder to a shared location like the %PROGRAMDATA% folder. The script is provided with the installation media (Support Tools > Rabbit Migration > Migrate-Rabbit.ps1). You can contact Quest Technical Support for assistance with this tool. |
An error occurred while checking the user who installed RabbitMQ. Please contact Quest Technical Support. |

Steps to grant permissions to the SCM Service account for the Service Connection Point
Contact your domain administrator to help with these steps if needed.
1.Log in to your domain controller
2.Click Start > Run. Enter ADSIEdit.msc and click OK to start the Active Directory Service Interfaces Editor.
3.From the Console Tree, expand the computers node and select the SCM Server (e.g., CN=SCMSVR).
4.Right-click the CN=Sensitive Content Manager node and select Properties from the context menu.
5.Select the Security tab.
6.Click Add and follow the steps to add a domain user (eg. SCM Administrator)
7.In the Permissions window, select all the Allow check boxes.
8.Click OK to close the window.
Steps to grant Remote Desktop Access
Follow the steps below to grant the required privilege to log on through Remote Desktop Services:
1.Log in to the computer with the local administrator credentials.
2.Start > Run > secpol.msc
3.From the Security Settings pane, open Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
4.From the right-hand pane, double-click on Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services to open the properties window.
5.Select the Local Security Settings tab and click Add User or Group...
6.Add the SCM Administrator and the SCM Users group.
7.Click OK to save the changes and exit.
Steps to get the URL for the SCM Administration Center
1.Right-click the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
2.Click the Shortcut tab and note the value of the Target field.
or
1.Log in to the SCM Server and open the Command console.
2.Run the command ipconfig /all
3.Get the FQDN of the server from the windows command prompt. This will give you [Hostname].[Primary Dns Suffix]. For example, SCMDEMO.mydomain.com
4.To get the protocol and port open IIS Manager
a.Expand the server node.
b.Expand the Sites node and select SCMAdminPortal
c.From the Actions pane click Bindings. This will gives you [protocol] and [port]. For example, the protocol is https and the port binding is 44300.
You can put all this information together and get [protocol]:// [Hostname].[Primary Dns Suffix]:[Port]. For example, https://SCMDEMO.mydomain.com:44300
Relocating the RabbitMQ data directory
By default, the RabbitMQ installer installs data files in the roaming folder of the user who installs RabbitMQ. To relocate the RabbitMQ configuration and data files to a shared location like C:\ProgramData\RabbitMQ or a secondary drive follow the steps described below:
1.Open a PowerShell console in administration mode.
2.Change directory to <installation-media-folder>\Support Tools\Rabbit Migration
3.Run the following command
.\Migrate-RabbitMQ.ps1 -source "C:\Users\<user1>\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ" -destination "C:\ProgramData\RabbitMQ"
