Solution
To avoid these errors and unexpected behaviors the NI PSP Service Locator needs to be running successfully, you can review the status of this and other services in the Windows Services application.
If the NI PSP Service Locator is not running try to start it manually by right-clicking the service and then Start. If after trying to start the service you get errors such as Error 1069: The service did not start due to logon failure, it is possible that the account being used to allow the service to run is invalid. You should check with your IT department to get valid login information.
As a workaround, you can run the service locally. To do so, right-click the
NI PSP Service Locator and select
Properties. Select the
Log On tab and choose to use the
Local System Account. This option has some potential risks associated and may require Admin rights. Evaluate this workaround with your IT department before completing the steps, for more information see the additional information section.
