Configuring <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> for Windows Vista /<br />

2008<br />

This is applicable only if you install <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Server in Windows Vista or<br />

Windows 2008.<br />

For running <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Service in Windows Vista or Windows 2008 operating<br />

systems, you need to specify user credentials with administrative privileges. This is not<br />

required for other operating systems like Windows XP, 2003 Server, etc.<br />

Specifying <strong>Admin</strong> User Credentials for Windows Vista / Windows<br />

2008<br />

When you install <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> server in Windows Vista or Windows 2008 and start,<br />

the <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> client will show a page asking for the user credentials with<br />

administrative privileges on that computer. Specify the user name and password of an<br />

user account that has administrative privileges on the computer where <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />

Server is installed. The user specified here can be either a domain user or a local user<br />

with admin privileges.<br />

It is recommended to set the password of the user specified here to "Password Never<br />

Expires". When the password of this user changes, <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Server will not be<br />

able to start as the credentials will fail.<br />
