I
use Local System Account. all my client servers do not access Internet and are
all locked down with access controls.
I
have never, in all my time of using NBU wanted to change this method of services
running under an alternative account.
My opinion only :-)

Hi everyone, we have NBU 5.1 MP4
on a windows platform. I have a couple questions for
you...
We script out the installation
of NetBackup to not require any user interaction. We currently have
installation documentation that states that we should run the NetBackup
service under administrative credentials, therefore requiring us to use a
specific domain account. We are wondering what the best practice is here?
Seeing as the default installation setting sets up the service to run as
"Local System." We would like to simply use the "Local System" account. If
however, it is best practice to specify an administrative account, can we
include that information in our MSI installation script? I do not see where
to do so. We do not have an advanced packaging
environment to create custom MST's, knowing that we could probably use such
a method to install the client service using whatever account we wish. We
also know we can go behind our installation with a VBS to change service
login information. However, this does not provide that specific account "Log
on as service" rights in the Local Security policy. We do not currently
control this setting using a GPO.
One more question: In our
installation script, we are using the %computername% variable to specify the
computer's name in the client software. This however, provides the NetBIOS
name. Is there a way, or variable, to automatically provide the machine's
Fully Qualified Domain Name?
