Setting Microsoft Server Credentials

To enable BloxOne DDI to synchronize data with a Microsoft server, do the following on the server:

1. Create a user account for BloxOne DDI.

2. Grant the user account the necessary permissions.

You can add a user account either to the Administrators Group or to specific groups; in the latter case, you must explicitly grant only the permissions necessary to access the server’s DNS services. The sections below provide general instructions on each method:

Adding a User Account to the Administrators Group

Adding a user account of BloxOne DDI to the Administrators Group provides total control over the Active Directory domain. Do one of the following:

• If the managed Microsoft server is a standalone server or a member server in a domain, open Computer Management, click Groups, and add the user account to the Administrators Group.

• If the managed Microsoft server is a domain controller, open Active Directory Users and Computers, select the domain name, click Builtin, and add the user account to the Administrators Group.
