SYMPTOMS
When you run the Host Security Domain Wizard, the following error message may occur:

Host Security is not installed on . Please run Host Security Setup on  before using the wizard.



CAUSE
The SNA Host Account Synchronization Service (SNAHOSTPROCESS) was not installed during the SNA Server setup process.



RESOLUTION
Run the SNA Server Setup program, and choose to install the SNA Host Account Synchronization Service.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
By default, the SNA Host Account Synchronization option is not selected during the SNA Server setup process. This service is required if the following are true:
 * You want to use the Host Security Domain Wizard for creating a Host Security Domain.
 * You are using password synchronization.

The SNA Host Account Synchronization Service is not necessary if you plan to use Single Sign-On (SSO) with manual password updates. If manual password updates are only going to be used, you do not need to install this service; however, you will be unable to use the wizard when you configure your Host Security Domain.

An alternative to using the Host Security Domain Wizard is made possible by using the Insert option when you configure a Host Security Domain; however, other steps are also required. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
