Changing the User ID in Which the Siebel Analytics Server Runs

In Windows, Siebel Analytics Server runs as a Windows service. It runs under the local system account by default. If the server needs to access databases on remote machines, it needs to run under a user ID that has the appropriate network privileges. Additionally, the user ID has to be a member of the Windows NT Administrators group on the local machine.

If you want to change the user ID in which the Siebel Analytics Server runs, you can do so from the Control Panel Services applet.

To change the user ID

  1. On the machine in which the Siebel Analytics Server is installed, select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Open the Services applet by double-clicking the Services icon in the Control Panel.
  3. Select the Siebel Analytics Server service and click Startup.

    4. The Service dialog for the Siebel Analytics Server appears.

  4. In the Log On As portion of the Services dialog box, select the option This Account, and then click the button to the right of the text box.

    5. The Add User dialog box appears.

  5. Select the user account in which you want the Siebel Analytics Server to run, click Add, and then click OK.
  6. Enter the password for the user in the Services dialog box, confirm the password, and then click OK.

    7. The server is now configured to run under the new user ID. The next time you start the service, it will attempt to use the new account to start the service.
