Hi Jeff,

The "Backup Operators" group does not come with "Manage auditing and security
logs" rights, so this right needs to be added either to the user and/or the
"Backup Operators" group (if you add the user to this group).

For the ADSM scheduler service, I recommend using the System account, which is
the default account when the service is installed.

Best regards,

Andy

Subject: Windows NT Security


Not being real familiar with Windows NT Security I was wondering if someone
could answer a question for me about NT security as is relates to ADSM.  In
the ADSM README files for the backup client it says the NT user must have
rights to backup files, restore files, and manage audit and security logs.
I assume that means they must have a Backup Operators designation in NT
security?  The 2nd issue is the ADSM scheduling service.  Our NT person
here asked what NT user id the DSMC SCHED task for ADSM uses.  Can someone
tell me what security needs to be in place for users and the ADSM
scheduler?

Thanks,
