Owner's Manual

6 Introduction
To create a user account with minimal user permissions:
1
Create a user account on the domain, as the Dell Provisioning Server
impersonates this account while writing the Data Discovery Record
(DDR) to the site server’s inbox.
2 Provide the user with the following permissions:
•
Collection — Read, Modify, and Create
• Site — Read, and Import computer entry
3 Configure user access to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
For more information, see Configuring User Access to WMI.
4 Provide share and folder permissions to write files to the DDR inbox. For
more information, see Providing Share and Folder Permissions.

NOTE: Make sure that firewall of your system does not block the WMI connection.

) on this system, remotely
