Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Adding the NMC service account to the Users user group

When the NMC Server manages multiple NetWorker Servers, the nsraddadmin -H command automatically adds a NetWorker Authentication Service group called "Users" to the "Users" user group on each remote NetWorker Server. The NetWorker Authentication Service Users group contains the NMC service account. To monitor operations on a NetWorker Server that is remote to the NMC Server, the NMC service account requires Monitor NetWorker privileges. If the NetWorker "Users" user group does not specify a NetWorker Authentication Service group that contains the NMC service account, NMC cannot monitor remote NetWorker Server operations.

1. Connect to the NMC server with the NetWorker Authentication Service administrator account.
2. Click Enterprise.
3. Right-click the NetWorker Server and select Launch Application.
   NOTE:Perform this step and each subsequent step on for each NetWorker Server that is not local to the authentication service that the NMC Server uses to authenticate users.
4. On the NetWorker Administration window, select Servers.
5. In the left navigation pane, select User Groups.
6. Right-click the Users user group, and then select Properties.
7. Click the plus sign (+) beside the External roles attribute.
   The Add Distinguished Names window appears.
8. In the Authentication Service Hostname field, specify the name of the host that the NMC Server uses to authenticate users, and then click Change.
9. In the user table, select the service account for the NMC Server and click OK.
   The following figure provides an example of the Add Distinguished Names window with the service account selected.
