Operating System: Windows only.

As part of Deploying Oracle Business Intelligence for High Availability you are required to identify a Domain account under which all clustered Oracle Business Intelligence Servers and cluster controllers run. This Domain account must also have the Log on as a service right. Members of the Administrators group do not have this right by default. Therefore, if the cluster controllers are running under a Windows operating system, grant the Log on as a service right explicitly to this account on each computer using one of the following methods.

NOTE:  The Domain account for the clustered Oracle Business Intelligence Server and cluster controllers must have the Log on as a service right explicitly granted on each computer running the servers and cluster controllers. However, the Oracle BI Presentation Services can be run under a different account or domain, as long as the Web Server login has the appropriate privileges.

Use one of the following procedures to perform the task of granting the Log on as a service right, based on your specific Windows platform.
