Error registering server to DSCC

Question

Hi Guys
On a fresh ODSEE install I am trying to run the following command
"dsccreg add-server -h HOSTNAME -p 3998 /server/dsee7/odseeserver"
I get the following error
Enter DSCC administrator's password:
/server/dsee7/odseeserver is an instance of DS
Enter password of "cn=Directory Manager" for /server/dsee7/odseeserver:
This operation will restart /server/dsee7/odseeserver.
Do you want to continue ? (y/n) y
Connecting to /server/dsee7/odseeserver (using ldap://127.0.0.1:389)
Failed to connect to /server/dsee7/odseeserver
*Server replied : [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]*
*/server/dsee7/odseeserver has not been registered in DSCC on HOSTNAME.*
Any ideas?
The port is running
bash-3.00$ netstat -an | grep 389
*.389 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
*.389 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
svcs command shows the server is running
the DSCC is on another server which I can access and see that it is active

cn=Directory Manager is a special user that does not exist anywhere on your DIT. Also, when you create the instance, the suffix is not automatically created, thus you cannot create an admin user under a suffix that does not exist yet even if you are just creating a seperate admin account that just happen to have a similar name as the directory manager name.
The ADS root tree entry is cn=dscc so all your DSCC admin users are by default created under cn=Administrators,cn=dscc
Hope this clarifies it.
