DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

This problem does not happen when the db2 install is launched 
normally, including both GUI and rsp file based silent install. 
However, when the db2 is installed with a automated method via 
some perl script or Tivoli Software Distribution, the install 
may fail in the function VerifyPrereqsCA: When the installer 
tries to validate the logon user account, it might fail to get 
the domain user name by retrieving the %USERDOMAIN% environemnt 
variable. 
 
The solution for this problem is: even if the installer fails to 
retrieve the %USERDOMAIN%,  write an error message into the 
install log, and let the DB2 install proceed, instead of 
stopping the install. 
 
For your reference, the following is a section in the install 
log files when the problem happens: 
 
 
 
Action start 9:17:16: VerifyPrereqsCA. 
1: The installation program has been unable to find the name of 
the user currently logged on to the operating system. The error 
code returned by the Networking API is "1008". 
Action ended 9:17:16: VerifyPrereqsCA. Return value 3. 
Action ended 9:17:16: INSTALL. Return value 3.
