Diagnostic Console minimum permissions

To run the Diagnostic Console, the Domain Administrator permission is recommended.

The Performance Monitor Users and Performance Log Users permissions are the minimum permissions required to collect most, but not all, Active Directory performance data on the target domain controller.

The Domain Administrator permission is needed for the Diagnostic Console to collect data and display the following critical alarms on target domain controllers:

•
Records and registration status for DNS entries
•
Percentage of disk space consumed on the system disk
•
Active Directory store database size, the amount of free space remaining, and the total size of the drive
•
Physical RAM
•
Domain controller configuration, such as Installed Software, Installed Hotfixes, and Network Adapters, on the target domain controller

 

Installing and configuring Active Administrator

Installing and configuring Active Administrator

Active Administrator has two main components: Server and Console. Install the Console component on any computer that requires it. The Server component needs to be installed on only one computer. Both the Console and Server components can be installed on the same server.

To install and configure Active Administrator, follow the steps in these sections:

•
Backing up your data
•
Installing Active Administrator server
•
Configuring the server
•
Installing Active Administrator console
•
Setting up the console
•
Setting up workstation logon auditing
•
Using Active Administrator

Backing up your data

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Prior to upgrading Active Administrator, it is highly recommended that you back up your Active Administrator database files and the folders in the Active Administrator share to avoid any loss of data. Quest Software will not be able to recover your data.

 

* 
CAUTION: It is very important to record the passphrase related to the backup files in a secure location where it can be retrieved when required. If the passphrase is lost, it will be impossible to restore and use Active Administrator backups.

Prior to upgrading Active Administrator ensure you back up the Active Administrator share, any data files, ActiveAdministratror.xml, and export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\Active Administrator registry key.

•
The Active Administrator share is located at the root on the computer where Active Administrator is installed (C:\ActiveAdministrator). The Active Administrator share contains several folders that contain information, such as settings, templates, repositories, backup files, and log files. Back up the entire Active Administrator share.
•
The Active Administrator data files are located on the named data server. To identify the data server and database file, run the Active Administrator Server Configuration report from the Active Administrator Console (Settings | Configuration Report).
•
The ActiveAdministrator.xml file is in the folder where Active Administrator server is installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\Quest\Active Administrator\Server.
•
The registry key is located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\Active Administrator.
