Network Assistant Server: Clean System Install Issue

This article describes an issue which may arise after performing a clean system software installation on an Apple Network Administration Toolkit (ANAT) server.

You may encounter errors after a clean installation of system software, re-installation of AppleShare Server software, and then immediately installing ANAT, specifically AppleShare agent and At Ease server, before setting up the server with an Owner and Macintosh name.

The At Ease Server extension will return the error, "Unable to initialize At Ease Server."

The AppleShare Agent will return, "AppleShare Agent Unable to create ADSP listener. Error code -1029". Followed by a cricket-like sound.

You can either launch the AppleShare Admin application and setup the server, or open the Sharing Setup control panel and enter the Owner Name and Macintosh name. Restart the server and the ANAT software should load correctly.
