I found the correct one. You rename the server.id to other name, example server.idxxx. then try again http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/sametime/v7r5m1/topic/com.ibm.help.sametime.home.doc/st751serverinstall.pdf

Cheers, Dan, found your post via a Google search, and the STSkipDominoPasswordCheck=true variable did the trick.

Thanks

@ Chris Gambrell, thanks for the tip, it worked. Not sure what caused in the first place.

@ Keith, I did check that, as well as notes.ini settings, but they were correct.

@idonotes, I did try that, but the installer didn't let me proceed.

@Geoff, the setting that Chris suggested did the trick, install proceeded w/o any issues. Apparently the server is fine, but since it's a test environment, should any issues arise will probably have to have it rebuilt.

Having the same problem here.

Checked the notes.ini to make sure serverkeyfilename was pointed to correct id.
Tried hitting enter but installer insists on a password.
I double-checked to make sure id file doesnt have a password.

Daniel - did you get any further with this?

Have you also tried just hitting enter with no password? The check is provided for the setup but I have not had it stop on multiple 8 servers that have been done.

ck you are not by accident running off an admin.id file.
Check your notes.ini for the serverkeyfilename and make sure it is correctly pointing to it.

My tweet responses seem to have disappeared. It may be a sign that something else is wrong but you can try bypassing the password check. For Windows set STSkipDominoPasswordCheck=true in an environment variable. For Linux set in setuplinux.sp.
