Resolving The Problem

To resolve this issue:

1. Go to the Administrative Tools > Services menu.
   
   
   
2. Scroll to WinCollect and stop the service.
   
   
   
3. Using an editor with Administrator privileges open C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WinCollect\Console\config\GlobalConfig.xml.
   Modify the restriction value for the domain field from domain to hostname.
   
   <Restriction value="domain" name="type"/> to  <Restriction value="hostname" name="type"/>
   
   Example:
   
   From:
   
   <Parameter type="instance" name="Login.Domain">
      <Attribute value="Domain" name="displayName"/>
      <Attribute value="Login.Domain" name="parameterName"/>
      <Attribute value="string" name="valueType"/>
      <Attribute value="" name="defaultValue"/>
      <Attribute value="basic" name="category"/>
      <Attribute value="The Windows domain/machine from which the files need to be fetched" name="description"/>
      <Restrictions>
        <Restriction value="255" name="maxLength"/>
        <Restriction value="remoteCollection" name="type"/>
        <Restriction value="domain" name="type"/>
      </Restrictions>
    </Parameter>
   
   to:
   
   <Parameter type="instance" name="Login.Domain">
      <Attribute value="Domain" name="displayName"/>
      <Attribute value="Login.Domain" name="parameterName"/>
      <Attribute value="string" name="valueType"/>
      <Attribute value="" name="defaultValue"/>
      <Attribute value="basic" name="category"/>
      <Attribute value="The Windows domain/machine from which the files need to be fetched" name="description"/>
      <Restrictions>
        <Restriction value="255" name="maxLength"/>
        <Restriction value="remoteCollection" name="type"/>
        <Restriction value="hostname" name="type"/>
