Unable to set SPN for the FIM Service in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,


I am trying to set up a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the FIMservice with  a domain account on Windows server 2008. The name of the service and account is FIMService

My command is as below

setspn -S FIMService/localhost CORP\FIMService

The output of the command is :

Ldap Error <0X51 -- Server Down > : ldap_connecct
Failed to retrieve DN for domain "" : 0x00000051
Warning: No valid targets specified, reverting to current domain
FindDomainForAccoutn: Call to DsGetDcNameWithAccountW failed with return vlalue 0
Unable to locate account FIMService

My domain CORP has 2 WIndows Server 2008 R2 instances running and I am trying to set up an SPN for the FIMService on the non-DC instance.

Please help

Thanks

If the address that the clients use to contact the FIM Portal is not the same as the server address, you have to establish an SPN for HTTP.

If you have only one instance of FIM and you are accessing it by the Server name, then you do not need to set the SPN.
