Before running the Anthology Student installation, ensure that the following accounts and permissions are created.
Windows Admin Account
Prior to the initial installation of Anthology Student, an administrator account must be established on all machines where the software will be installed. This should be an administrator ID with a password that never expires. If the password expires, Anthology Student must be reinstalled.
The Windows Admin account is used to:
- Run the install task on each machine when installing.
- Verify access to the COM+ server when Anthology Student is started.
- Enable API access to the database.
The user account that is being used (logged into) while running Installation Manager must be configured for each machine where the Anthology Student application will be installed. This account is used for permission to copy the installation files to each remote machine. With recent Microsoft security patches, the Windows Admin ID must also be added to the Backup Operators group on all systems. This account must also be enabled as an Administrator for the SQL Server instance.
The admin account must have the "Log on as a batch job" permissions (which generally are assigned to the Backup Operators group). This permission may be applied to the local administrators group depending upon the security policy permissions applied for the installation domain.
Student Administrator Account
An Anthology Student administrator account must also be set up for installation. The Web Services API uses this account for its access and Anthology Student permissions. The password for this administrator account cannot contain the special characters ^ | &” < >.
Permissions for the C2000 Share
Installation Manager checks for an existing C2000 share on the machine and installs to that folder. If the C2000 folder does not exist, Installation Manager creates the folder in C:\Program Files\CMC\C2000 (for Windows Server 32-bit systems) or in C:\Program Files (x86) for 64-bit systems.
The user account that is logged in while running Installation Manager and the Windows Admin account must have full access permission to the C2000 share for the installation to complete successfully.
