Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 is out for a while and I have been testing this product for two months now.
If you manually install SCVMM 2007 than Virtual Machine Manager 2007 Server Setup wizard may stop just before the installation is finished. I have also seen errors within the available SCVMM 2007VHD appliance from Microsoft’s website. Jobs are failing and Manager complaining about network paths incorrect.
Main reason why the setup fails is that the computername contains ‘-‘ . For example I named the server REF-SCVMM-01 and the setup failed with error id 2917.
- The network path was not found on the REF-SCVMM-01. Ensure that the share name provided maps to a valid local path, and then try the operation again. ID: 2917. Details: The network path was not found.
In the background PowerShell is not able to get the computername variable correct within the scripts it uses. In my case I renamed the computername to REF_SCVMM_01 and setup finished successfully.

I’ll pass this along to our test team and make sure it’s addressed.
Thanks!

My domain contained “-” symbol. Renamed domain and it worked!
Thanks!
