Make sure that you select Packet privacy in the Authentication level group box when connecting to the
Site_<sitecode> Namespace.
2. After establishing the connection, run the query Select*from SMS_Site. If permissions are properly
assigned, this command returns a record with the site code.
Providing Share And Folder Permissions
To grant share and folder permissions to write files to the DDR inbox:
1. Do the following:
– From the Configuration Manager 2007 console, under Computer Management, grant the user permission to
write to the SMS_<sitecode> share.
– From the Configuration Manager 2012 console, under Administration, grant the user permission to write to
the SMS_<sitecode> share.
2. Using File Explorer, go to the share location SMS_<sitecode> share, and then to the ddm.box folder. Grant full
control to the domain user for the following folders:
– SMS_<sitecode>
– inboxes
– ddm.box
3. Add a configuration point to provide full control permission at this registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DELL\Provisioning Service\Repository
.
4. Validate these permissions by temporarily mapping a drive from the Dell Provisioning Server with user credentials,
and then creating, writing, modifying, and deleting a new file.
