I'm having this issue as well. Does a local admin need to be created for the initial install for the Creds pre-filled in the MSI? Or would making a domain admin account with local privileges be needed?

@Omwati Sharma, Please remove your post as it is not an answer. It is just a link to get hits on a site. Please and thank you.

@Moderators: Can this kind of thing get looked at a little closer to avoid people using click-bait on real issues that Administrators need a little guidance on?

I got rid of the clickbait.

I wonder if this is a version issue.

I will have engineering take a look

I am having the same problem.

I want to create a local user for minifi on a Windows server on a domain, so I check the Local User option but it still tries to use Get-ADuser module.

HDF 3.4

Windows Server 2012 R2

Have you been able to solve it?

@burakongun 

Did you get past this issue or are you still facing the problem?

[#6]

@Wynner I don't remember exactly but I haven't found any solution to that so I decided not to use the .msi installer version of minifi.

@burakongun 

In my experience with the msi file, I've had to do a couple of steps before running it.

First, make sure there are no blanks spaces in the path to JAVA. Something like C:\Java

Second, I created a local user that was used to run MiNiFi. I also gave this user Administrator privileges.

I hope this helps.
