York and Dagenham both spurned a host of chances in a goalless draw.
The home side nearly led after two minutes when Steve Davis headed Darren Dunning's corner over the crossbar.
Bryan Stewart fired wide, Daggers keeper Tony Roberts kept out a Dunning effort and York's David Stockdale denied a couple of Chris Moore efforts.
Moore missed a sitter after the break, City substitute Ben Jackson had chances and Jake Leberl and Glen Southam were denied by Stockdale late on.
