Every time I open the Master Data Services Configuration Manager, all options that I previously configured are blank. The service is working fine but aparently the manager doesnt keep the configs saved.
Is it supposed to behave this way or is it a bug?
In the installs I've done this appears to be a bug. Also I've found the integration with DQS to be quite flakey - particularly via the add-ins in Excel (for example the DQS add-in doesn't always appear or is 'disabled').
I also read a long thread on the MSDN forums about the need to install MDS on a domain-joined machine. That thread appears to have been removed. I had this problem on RC0 and RTM bits (i.e. failed install).
Also - here's a list of possible install errors. Finally, here's a complete install, with a link to another known problem, trying to install MSD on a domain controller (scroll down for the MDS install section)
