SET
CLIENT=%computername%.%userdnsdomain%
- John Nardello
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?
