Technical Articles ID: KB77797
Last Modified: 12/9/2019

Environment

McAfee Network Security Manager (NSM)

Problem

When you log on to the NSM, the management dashboard does not open and the logon prompt is shown with no errors displayed.

Solution

Verify that you have free drive space on the server where NSM is installed.

NOTE: To free up drive space, delete old temp files, and run cleanup wizards.
Try to log on to the NSM. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.
Check the ems.log on the host where NSM is installed to confirm that the issue occurred.

NOTE: The ems.log is in C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Network Security Manager\App.
Search the Knowledge Base for the error message listed. Follow the solutions suggested in the results of that search.

If you do not see an error or if the issue persists, use Infocollector to collect full Minimum Escalation Requirement (MER) files from the NSM where the issue is seen.
See KB59385 for information about using Infocollector.
