NotificationService install Server Automation fails

The install of the Notification service is failing on my Windows 2012R2 server. After some digging, I noticed that the copy of the initial unzipped ns-staging folder was failing. This was because the file paths within the folder were too long and 8dot3 is by default disabled on 2012R2 (besides the C: drive).

Is there a newer version of the BigFix-NotificationService-1.0.0-win.zip file that will work on a system that has 8dot3 disabled?

Hi ADutch1,

Sorry to hear you’re having difficulty installing, but no, 1.0.0 is the initial release from just before the holidays and there are no newer versions available just yet. All I can suggest is that you enable 8dot3 and see if that makes a difference.

Cheers,
Paul.
