APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q165732

SYMPTOMS

When you install File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW), you may see the following error message:
The specified local group already exists
If you click OK, you will return to the FPNW volume setup options.

CAUSE

The above error occurs because Windows NT includes a group called Supervisor, and FPNW attempts to create a Local user account called Supervisor as part of its installation. Windows NT does not allow a username to be the same as a groupname.

RESOLUTION

In order to install FPNW, you must remove the Supervisor group.
