Creating the Araxi service account in a Windows domain

If you are in a Windows domain, use the domain controller to create the user account that the Araxi service uses to access Windows servers in the Prinergy system.
If you are re-creating the Araxi service user account in the entire Prinergy system, shut down all servers in the system before you log on to the domain controller.

1. On a domain controller, log on as a domain administrator.
2. Create the user account:
   
   1. From the Start menu, select Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
   2. On the Tree tab, click the domain node to expand the tree.
   3. Select the folder that contains the Araxi service account.
      The default account is called Araxi.
      If you are not using folders to organize your accounts, the Araxi service account is typically under Users.
   4. If you are re-creating the araxi service user account, right-click the old Araxi service account, select Delete, and click Yes to confirm.
   5. Right-click the folder that will contain the Araxi service account, select New > User, and follow the prompts.
   6. Clear the User must change password at next logon check box.
3. Enable the user rights for the Araxi service account:
   1. From the Start menu, select Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
   2. On the Tree tab, expand Local Policies, and select User Rights Assignment.
      The right pane displays a list of user rights.
   3. In the right pane, right-click Act as part of the operating system and select Security or Properties.
   4. Click Add or Add User or Group, and from the Name box, select the Araxi service account, click Add, and click OK.
      The Local Security Policy Setting dialog box appears, and the Araxi service account appears in the Assigned To box.
   5. In the right pane, right-click Log on as a service, and select Security or Properties.
   6. Click Add or Add User or Group. From the Name box, select the Araxi service account, click Add, and click OK.
