Error description

• The dsmicfgx.exe configuration wizard may fail to complete IBM
  Storage Protect server instance configuration at final step,
  when defining server defaults, such as admin, storage pools and
  standard domain. The wizard will report an error at the very end
  of the configuration processing, stating that Runfile.In could
  not be opened due to "The network path was not found" error.
  
  The dsmicfgx.trc log file will show the following:

  This can happen if a "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
  Networks" (ms_server) binding is disabled in the network adapter
  properties. This can be verified from Power Shell as shown in
  below example.
  
  PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-NetAdapterBinding -IncludeHidden
  -AllBindings | findstr ms_server
  Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Int... File and Printer Sharing for
  Microsoft Networks    ms_server            True
  Local Area Connection* 10      File and Printer Sharing for
  Microsoft Networks    ms_server            False
  Microsoft IP-HTTPS Platform... File and Printer Sharing for
  Microsoft Networks    ms_server            True
  Ethernet (Kernel Debugger)     File and Printer Sharing for
  Microsoft Networks    ms_server            True
  
  IBM Storage Protect Versions Affected:
  All IBM Storage Protect Servers 8.1.x on all supported Windows
  platforms
  
  Additional Keywords:
  Storage Protect; Runfile.In; FileNotFoundException; ms_server;
  TS015113562
  

Local fix

• Open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing
  Center > Change adapter settings (from panel on the left side)
  select network adapter that has been identified to have
  ms_server binding disabled, open adapter properties and enable
  "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" binding.
