Enterprise Configuration
Manager
Enterprise Configuration Manager is an application that enables customers to monitor,
document, troubleshoot, and control the configuration of network devices.
Special Scheduler Requirements for
Windows NT Users
Because Windows NT uses the Schedule Service (instead of the cron
utility) to schedule tasks, Windows NT users should make sure these
additional requirements are met before using Enterprise Configuration
Manager’s Scheduler:
• The Windows NT Schedule Service must be running in order for the
Scheduler to function. Set the Startup Type for the Schedule Service to
“Automatic” so that the Schedule Service is started automatically
whenever the computer is restarted.
• The Schedule Service must also log on with the proper User Account.
Be sure to specify that the Schedule Service logs on as a member of
either the Administrator’s group or the Backup Operator’s group. (Do
not specify the System Account—it cannot access the network.) Then
make sure the user or user group assigned to the Schedule Service is
also defined as a SPECTRUM user in SpectroGRAPH.
If you find that the Scheduler is not performing Enterprise Configuration
Manager tasks as scheduled, check the Windows NT Schedule Service
Startup parameters. Even when these Schedule Service parameters are
incorrect, you can schedule Enterprise Configuration Manager operations
— captures, loads, and verifications. The Scheduler, however, will not be
able to perform these operations.
