Joe, there are LOTS of documentation issues with this version.  You would be
well-advised to scour the KBs before troubleshooting ANYthing.  It will
likely save you lots of time, and will be educational.

The installation guide (page 43) suggests putting the server into admin
only mode to install the application faster. If you follow this "Tip", the
installation will complete with several errors requiring a restore from
database back ups.

According to BMC tech support, the problem is that the install script uses
the CMDB dispatcher to make changes to the CMDB early in the install
process. Because the dispatcher is not an admin user, admin only mode keeps
these changes from happening. This in turn causes later parts of the
Incident application install to fail as some objects are not in place.

The good news is that tech support was aware of this problem. They
diagnosed right off the bat without  what has sadly become the normal run
around of sending the same logs and information several time.

The bad news is that, from what the tech rep told me, BMC has known about
this problem for quite a while, but could not be bothered to update one
little PDF file.

Sigh.
