Post-installation tasks for the Windows Command adapter

You can enable the Windows Command adapter on TrueSight Orchestration peers running on a Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 operating system.

In addition to enabling the adapter on a Windows peer, you must adjust the permission levels for the TrueSight Orchestration service on that peer to allow the adapter to communicate with a remote host.

Before you begin

Before setting permissions for the Windows Command adapter, ensure that it is in the default mode. 

To set permissions for the Windows Command adapter

1. On the peer on which the Windows Command adapter is enabled, navigate to the Services window (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).
2. Right-click the TrueSight Orchestration Access Manager and Repository, TrueSight Orchestration Lightweight Activity Peer, TrueSight Orchestration Configuration Distribution Peer, or TrueSight Orchestration High Availability Configuration Distribution Peer service, and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
3. Click the Log On tab.
4. Select the This account option.

5. Type the username to be used for this service.

   Note

   The specified user must have the ability to communicate externally and utilize a communication interface. The peer on which the adapter is enabled must have the peer service running with administrator rights. You must also have administrative privileges on the local host and the target server.

6. Type the corresponding password in the Password and Confirm Password text boxes.
7. Click Apply.
8. Click OK.
9. Restart the TrueSight Orchestration Access Manager and Repository, TrueSight Orchestration Lightweight Activity Peer, TrueSight Orchestration Configuration Distribution Peer, or TrueSight Orchestration High Availability Configuration Distribution Peer service.
