Verify VCM Remote Virtual Directory Permissions
The VCM Remote Virtual Directory is required for client access to VCM over HTTP. During VCM
installation, you specify the VCM Remote virtual directory. To change the account later, use the IIS
Management console.
IMPORTANT To minimize security risks to your accounts, when you specify the VCM Remote virtual
directory, always use an account that differs from the account used for your Default Network Authority
Account or your Services Account.
Prerequisites
VCM uses virtual directories for several functions. Before starting Installation Manager, verify that the
user who installs VCM has local administration rights for the default Web site.
Procedure
1. Click Start and select Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Expand the server node and the Sites node.
3. Right-click Default Web Site and select Edit Permissions.
4. Click Security and verify that the user is listed with full rights or is a member of the Administrators
group.
What to do next
Configure SQL Server database file growth and database recovery settings to tune your VCM database.
See the VCM Installation Guide.
