Autodesk Vault 2014

[MJ Miller]

I'm glad you have it working! However, I currently don't have 2014 Vault Basic working and would like some guidance. Vault was part of the 2014 Autodesk download. No installation errors on my Windows 7 Home Premium edition laptop. I also installed the SP1 for Inventor and the Vault update. I seem to have missed some Vault Basic configuration steps because I can't login. At first I got the error dialog that IIS wasn't running, but continue to get error messages even after starting IIS services. The latest error I get is, "Vault Basic 2014 could not find the Data Management Services in localhost." The Autodesk instructions I read include some details about what's included with the Vault Basic, but I fail to see necessary procedures for setting up the accounts, configuring the server software, and configuring the OS settings. I want to use Vault on my local machine for now, but upgrade to a network accessible server for the build season. I see this as a great tool for everyone to learn how to use. I would appreciate anyone help in pointing me to the correct documentation, or providing the correct procedure for making it work.

Thanks,
MJ, FRC mentor
