Windows
1. Create a local user account
C:\>net user nbwebsvc <StrongPassword> /add
C:\>net user nbwebsvc <StrongPassword> /add
Note: If your master is clustered, then you must use a domain account. Domain account can be used in non-clustered environments.
Note: User names on Windows systems must be 20 characters or less. Make sure that the password for the web user is set to never expire.
2. Create a local group:
C:\>net localgroup nbwebgrp /add
C:\>net localgroup nbwebgrp /add
Note: If your master is clustered, then you must use a domain group. Domain account can be used in non-clustered environments.
3. Make the user a member of the group:
C:\>net localgroup nbwebgrp nbwebsvc /add
C:\>net localgroup nbwebgrp nbwebsvc /add
4. Grant the Log on as a service right to the user:
- Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
- Under Security Settings, click Local Policies and then User Rights Assignment
- Right-click on Log on as a service and select Properties
- Add the local user. The default local user name is “nbwebsvc”.
- Save your changes and close the “Log on as a service” Properties dialog.
The installation of NetBackup Master Server will fail if any of these requirements are not met. On Windows, you will be asked to provide the password for the user account as part of the installation process.
