Configuring an account for use with discovery and handshake

If you do not want to use an administrator account for the Dell Provisioning Service (DPS) to access the Configuration Manager server, create a user account with minimal permissions.

About this task

  • NOTE: If you install DLCI by providing user credentials authenticated in Active Directory, and then perform the discovery and handshake with a target system using a Non-Active Directory authenticated user credentials, the discovery and handshake with the target system fails. To resolve this issue, disable the Active Directory credentials.

Perform the following steps to create a user account with minimal user permissions:

Steps

  1. Create a user account on the domain, as the DPS impersonates this account while writing the Data Discovery Record (DDR) to the inbox of the site server.
  2. In the Configuration Manager console, check for the user name under Administration > Security > Administrative Users . Provide the user with the following permissions:
    • Collection — Read, Modify and Create
    • Site — Read and Import computer entry
  3. Configure user access to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). For more information, see Configuring user access to WMI .
  4. Provide share and folder permissions to write files to the DDR inbox. For more information, see Providing share and folder permissions .
