Configuring an account for use with discovery and
handshake
If you do not want to use an administrator account for the Dell Provisioning Service (DPS) to access the
Configuration Manager server, create a user account with minimal permissions.
NOTE: If you install DLCI by providing user credentials authenticated in Active Directory, and then
perform the discovery and handshake with a target system using a Non-Active Directory
authenticated user credentials, the discovery and handshake with the target system fails; to resolve
this, disable the Active directory credentials.
To create a user account with minimal user permissions:
1. Create a user account on the domain, as the DPS impersonates this account while writing the Data
Discovery Record (DDR) to the inbox of the site server.
2. In the Configuration Manager 2012 console check, for the user name under Administration →
Security → Administrative Users. 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.
