The Specify Server User dialog box opens.
Specifying the Server User
In this dialog box, define the Cluster Service account (Server Execution User) used to run the
Avid Interplay Engine.
The Server Execution User is the Windows domain user that runs the Interplay Engine and the
cluster service. This account is automatically added to the Local Administrators group on the
server. This account must be the one that was used to set up the cluster service. See
“Before You
Begin the Server Failover Installation” on page 29
.
To specify the Server Execution User:
1. Type the Cluster Service Account user login information.
c
The installer cannot check the username or password you type in this dialog. Make sure
that the password is set correctly, or else you will need to uninstall the server and repeat the
entire installation procedure. Avid does not recommend changing the Server Execution
User in cluster mode afterwards, so choose carefully.
c
When typing the domain name do not use the full DNS name such as
mydomain.company.com, because the DCOM part of the server will be unable to start. You
should use the NetBIOS name, for example, mydomain.
