Error starting the MDM server in client system

Question

Hi MDM Experts,
I am new to MDM and we have just installed MDM 5.5 on our system. We are able to 'Mount the Repository' via the MDM Console on the client side but when we try to 'Start MDM Server', we encounter the error below:
"Error starting MDM server: The machine (server name) is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead."
What must we do to resolve this error? Please help us on this matter.
Thanks in advance!

Hi ASP,
MDM server operations can Be performed through Console only if your Server is Windows based.
You can perform the some repository options through Console ,but for any Server based operations like Mounting the server,Start/Stop server  etc you will have to operate through the CLIX ie Command line interface.
I Guess yours is a Unix based system or something else which is not Windows based.
so it will not allow you,
Either you install your server on  a windows based system to operate through Console.
Or if you want to continue with the NON windows based system then you will have to use CLIX for most of your Console opeartions.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards
