Changing the server user account

If the incorrect user account is running on a server on Windows, change it in the Crystal Configuration Manager (CCM).

Tip:    The Program Job Server must be configured to use the Local System account, or a user account that has the right "Act as part of the operating system". (To set this right for a user in Windows 2000, go to Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>Local Security Policy>Local Policies> User Rights Assignment).

To change a server's user account

1. Use the CCM to stop the server.
2. Click Properties.
3. Clear the System Account check box.
4. Enter the Windows NT/2000 user name and password information.

   When started, the server process will log on to the local machine with this user account. In addition, all reports processed by this server will be formatted using the printer settings associated with the user account that you enter.

5. Click Apply, and then click OK.
6. Start the server.
