Setup Guide

Validating User Permissions From the Dell Provisioning Server

To validate user permissions:

1. Use WBEMTest to verify that you can connect to the Site Server using WMI.

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 Select*from SMS_Site query. 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 2012 console, under Administration, grant the user permission to write to the

SMS_<sitecode> share.

– From the Configuration Manager 2007 console, under Computer Management, 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.
