Ive managed to create a Server but when I right click on the server --- select "create new vault" --- it gives the error "Root folder: Error Description: Could not connect to the Archive Server."
The additional error is: "Could not initialize archive server connection. Error Description: An invalid argument was given to the method."
Although Im new to Solidworks and its PDM, Im pretty sure I need a vault to use it correctly.
Thanks for responding Greg. I managed to get someone to dameware onto my computer. After checking the port and disabling the firewall, we eventually figured out there was an error with the initial installation of the pdm software (several files missing for archive server etc...). After uninstalling the pdm standard, and reinstalling, I was able to create a vault from the admin window.
