Performing the Pre-installation Procedure

Before you install WebSphere, you must first set up a local user account that is in the Administrative group and has these advanced user rights:

• Act as part of operating system

• Create a token object.

• Log on as a service

• Replace a process level token

To set up a local user account with the above user rights, navigate to:

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Users Rights Assignment

On User Rights Assignment, double-click one of the user rights, click Add, select a local user account from the list, and click OK. Repeat this process for the remaining user rights.
