Using MonitorMagic
The Windows 2000 or Windows NT user account name that will be used by the MonitorMagic
service. If the account does not exist MonitorMagic will create it with the password specified in the
next field. By default, MonitorMagic will create the account MonitorMagicSvcAccnt in the
domain you are logged on to. If the account already exists the password specified in the next field
must be correct. Otherwise, the MonitorMagic service will not start. The syntax of the service
account specification is DOMAIN\ACCOUNTNAME. For Windows 2000 domains you must use
the NETBIOS domain name. If you want to use a local machine account, e.g. not a domain
account but an Windows NT 4.0 workstation or Windows 2000 Professional account name, you
should use the syntax \\COMPUTERNAME\ACCOUNTNAME. When upgrading, this field is not
used.
Password
The password of the service account specified in the field User name. If the specified User name
already exists the password must be correct. If MonitorMagic creates the account, the password
of the new account is specified in this field. When upgrading, this field is not used.
Group (Service account group membership)
The MonitorMagic service account will be added to this group. By default, the Domain Admins
group is used. This setting is used to grant the MonitorMagic service sufficient access rights to
retrieve information from all monitored objects and to execute alarm actions. If the MonitorMagic
service account does not have sufficient access rights error messages will appear in the
computer Application event log, and in the MonitorMagic client window.
Group (MonitorMagic administrator group)
This group is used to specify the user accounts that are allowed to configure the MonitorMagic
service. By default, the group is set to the local administrators group. The way this is organized is
comparable to the way you setup access control for files and directories.
Directory
This field contains the directory where MonitorMagic will install the MonitorMagic service software.
Note that the specification is relative to the remote computer, e.g. C:\... means the directory
C:\ on the computer where the MonitorMagic client is going to be installed. By default,
MonitorMagic searches for a drive and directory with enough available free disk space which is
accessible through an administrative share (e.g., \\COMPUTER\C$).
Site
Use this field only when you have a valid MonitorMagic site license. If this is the case, specify the
name of the licensed 'site' in this field.
