  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

it things that the control panel wants to create a few files but it cant. how ever we checked the permissions and all required permissions are all ready there.

C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/container_locks/session.057f96ad6b8c42bb99661a4770dc0454/service.lock



all the suggestions in the following KB were followed with no success.







Do you have solution for this issue?
 
It could be caused by a missing user psaadm_users for the folder and all the subfolder/files of C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/
  1. Connect to the server via RDP
  2. Open properties of C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/ folder mentioned in the error and switch to the Security tab.
  3. Add the username psaadm_users with all the permission as allow:
    locks.PNG
  4. Click Ok to save.

Thanks for your reply Peter.
Sadly, all the folders up to C:\ has full control for group psaadm_users.
Any other ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
