7.8 Changing the Deployment Service User Account

AppManager stores the Deployment Service account information you provided during installation in the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\Control Center\1.0\CCDB. The relevant keywords are WindowsAuthName and WindowsAuthPass. You can change the account information after installation.

To change the Windows user account for the Deployment Service:

  1. Use Control Panel to stop the Deployment Service.

  2. From a command prompt, change to the location of the DeploymentService.exe.config file and enter the following command:

    DeploymentService -setwindowsauth Domain\User_Name password

    For more information about the Deployment Service configuration file, see the Administrator Guide for AppManager, available on the AppManager Documentation page.

  3. Start the Deployment Service.

  4. Add the new account to Control Center.

    For information about adding accounts to Control Center, see the Administrator Guide for AppManager, available on the AppManager Documentation page.
