Changing the Credentials used by the Enterprise Reporter Server

The credentials used to run the Quest Enterprise Reporter server service on the host computer are not stored in the Credential Manager. To change these credentials—either to a different account, or to update the password, take the following steps:

1
Stop any currently running discoveries. It is important to wait until all discoveries have finished canceling to ensure the integrity of the data.
For more information, see Canceling a Task or Discovery .
2
Disable all nodes in each cluster.
For more information, see Why Disable a Node? .
* 
CAUTION: At this point, you may want to inform your reporting users that they will lose connection to the Enterprise Reporter server, and they may lose work if they have not saved their latest changes.
3
On the computer hosting the server, use the Services console to stop the service, then modify the properties of the Quest Enterprise Reporter Server service to use the new credentials.
See your Microsoft® documentation for details.
4
Restart the service.
5
Open the Enterprise Reporter Encryption Key Manager and import the encryption key from the backup file. You must provide the user-supplied password that was used to create the backup file.
For more information, see Importing a Key File .
6
In the Configuration Manager, enable the nodes.
For more information, see Enabling a Node .
7
Restart any discoveries you canceled.
For more information, see Manually Running a Discovery .

| Configuration

The following section outlines the system configuration options.

•
Change History
You can enable or disable change history for each discovery type. For more information, see Best Practices for Creating Discoveries .
•
Configure Logging
You can set the amount of logging information that is collected from the Enterprise Reporter Server.
Each user of Configuration Manager can also configure the amount of logging information that is collected from each Configuration Manager computer. We recommend the default setting of Debug to collect as much information as possible. The following logging levels are available:
•
Debug
This is the most verbose logging level (maximum volume setting).
•
Information
The Information level is typically used to output information that is useful to the running of ER.
•
Warning
Warning is often used for showing when exceptional behavior has occurred. These can usually be handled without issue.
•
Error
Error is used to log all unexpected errors.
•
Fatal
Fatal is reserved for special exceptions/conditions causing a failure of a component (console or server) with the ER product.
•
Credential Manager
•
Manage credentials
You can manage credentials for use throughout the system. For more information, see Using the Credential Manager .
•
Database Settings
•
Database Timeouts
You can increase the timeout for the Enterprise Reporter server. Connection timeouts control how long the server has to establish a connection to the database, while the command timeout controls the amount of time available for processing a command on the database.
For more information, see Troubleshooting Connection Timeouts .
•
Defragment Indices
This option is available for systems running SQL Server™ Enterprise edition and is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, database indices are defragmented in the background as a regular part of collections to enhance the performance of both collection and reporting tasks.
•
Frequency Threshold
Database indices will become more fragmented from frequent collections or from collections with large amounts of data. If Defragment Indices is enabled, you may optionally set the Frequency threshold to control the minimum amount of time that must elapse between tasks to defragment the database indices.
For example, if the frequency threshold is set to 3 hours, and a defragmentation task finishes at 9am, no other defragmentation task will be allowed to begin until 12pm at the earliest. For any threshold, only one defragmentation task will run at a time.
Enterprise Reporter running on systems that are not equipped with SQL Server™ Enterprise edition requires database indices to be defragmented manually during a shutdown using the Database Wizard to Perform Database Maintenance.
•
Email Notifications
Enterprise Reporter can be configured to send email notifications that indicate when nodes and discoveries change state and may need administrator intervention. You can configure host, sender, and recipient information, and select whether to send notifications for node state changes, discovery state changes, or both. You can also select whether to include all discovery state changes or just the failures.For more information, see Configuring Email Notifications .
•
Extend Reporter Attributes
You can collect more than the default attributes for Active Directory® and Active Roles objects. For more information, see Managing the Collection of Additional Attributes .
•
IT Security Search
You can manage the configuration information and the credentials to access IT Security Search Warehouse Rest API. This option can also be used to select the information to be sent to the IT Security Search 11.3 Repository after every discovery. For more information, see Configuring IT Security Search .
•
NAS Host Configuration
You can manage the configuration information and the credentials for all NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected. For more information, see Configuring a NAS Host Device , File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices , or NTFS Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices .
•
Server Error Notification
You can manage the suppression of the login notification that the Enterprise Reporter server restarted unexpectedly since the last login. For more information, see Configuring Server Error Notification .
•
