Hello,
No, generally you should run the networker services under local system 
account on clients & server, unless you have any specific reason to do 
otherwise.
If you have configured remote attributes of the client with a particular 
id this needs to be looked at as Stan suggested.
If you do not delegate restores to any one else besides yourself, then 
there may be little or no reason to configure remote user attribute also, 
configuring it may provide better control over your environment , however 
it may be administrative overhead in some environment, especially, if your 
hardware, networker servers , NMC are secured also.

Re: Savegroups fail after password change






I had thought about that, but the services appear to be running under
Local System instead of the account that I use to log into the server.
Should I make it a point to change the Remote Exec service account on
all Networker clients to the domain admin account? 

Thanks, 

Josh

On each NetWorker client, go into the properties of the NetWorker remote
service and change the password there to reflect the new password.
