Configure Access to the Distributed Job Service

Before configuring DCOM and the DJS, you must create users that have privileges to launch the Job Service, access the registry and path information on the Controller, and access applications across the network.

On the server that controls the domain in which the Controller and DJS servers reside, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a user group (for example, PrmAdmins).
  2. For the Controller and each DJS server, add a user name to the user group you just created. For example,

    Name of Controller : ControllerUser

    Name of Server1 (DCOM Server) : Server1User
    Name of Server2 (DCOM Server) : Server2User
    Name of Server3 (DCOM Server) : Server3User

  3. On the Controller and each DJS server, add the group you created to the Local Administrator Group.
  4. In the Security tab of the DCOM Configuration dialog, add the group you created to each Custom permission.

    Note: The example above illustrates a multi-user scenario. You can also configure single-user access. For example, you could create a single domain user (e.g., ControllerUser) and add that user to the Local Administrator group on the Controller and each DJS server. Then, when configuring DCOM, you could use the ControllerUser instead of the PrmAdmins user group shown above.
