Subject: [Veritas-bu] Client Installation Questions
Hi everyone, we have NBU 5.1 MP4 on a windows platform. I have
a couple questions for you...
We script out the installation of NetBackup to not require any
user interaction. We currently have installation documentation that
states that we should run the NetBackup service under administrative
credentials, therefore requiring us to use a specific domain account. We
are wondering what the best practice is here? Seeing as the default
installation setting sets up the service to run as "Local System." We
would like to simply use the "Local System" account. If however, it is
best practice to specify an administrative account, can we include that
information in our MSI installation script? I do not see where to do so.
We do not have an advanced packaging environment to create custom MST's,
knowing that we could probably use such a method to install the client
service using whatever account we wish. We also know we can go behind
our installation with a VBS to change service login information.
However, this does not provide that specific account "Log on as service"
rights in the Local Security policy. We do not currently control this
setting using a GPO.=20

One more question: In our installation script, we are using the
%computername% variable to specify the computer's name in the client
software. This however, provides the NetBIOS name. Is there a way, or
variable, to automatically provide the machine's Fully Qualified Domain
Name?
