Configuring permissions and groups Windows Server 2003 domain controller

Configuring permissions and groups (Windows Server 2003 domain controller)

If Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is a domain controller, you must complete these tasks to configure users and groups to access IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server. This configuration is required only for the engine tier computer and is only applicable to the users of the operating system where the engine tier components are installed.

Procedure

Because you cannot add the built-in authenticated users group to a group that you create in steps 2 and 3, you might prefer to skip steps 2 and 3 and use the authenticated users group directly.

Log in to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 as an administrator.
Configure the server to allow local users to log in.
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Domain Security Policy.
2. In the Domain Security Policy window, expand Local Policies > User Rights Assignment to display the policies.
3. In the Domain Security window, click the Allow log on Locally policy, and click Actions > Properties.
4. In the Allow log on Locally Properties window, click Add User or Group.
5. Click Browse.
6. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups window, click Advanced and then click Find Now.
7. In the search results, click Authenticated Users, and then click OK three times to return to the Domain Security Policy window.
