M100385: Blank password causes Windows migration file transfers and domain joining to fail

Summary

ManageSoft for Windows migration allows specification of credentials in postwork.ini for file transfers and domain joining. If the account specified for any of these operations has a blank password, the operation will fail.

Properties affected

The properties in postwork.ini affected by the issue are:

[Logging] UPLOADLOGPASSWORD=<PASSWORD> 
[PCData] DATAPASSWORD=<PASSWORD> 
[DomainJoining] JOINDOMAINPASSWORD=<PASSWORD>

For each of these properties, <PASSWORD> cannot be empty.

Fixing the problem

To fix this problem, create a specific account to be used for the particular operation required. Use this account in postwork.ini.

Note: The account must be given a password so that <PASSWORD> is no longer empty. Best practice is to ensure the account only has permissions to perform the required operation.
