This article applies to:
- MailMarshal SPE
- SEG Array Manager on same server as SPE admin components
- Workgroup installation
Symptoms:
- The Array properties > Credentials "Test credentials" check fails with a known valid account.
Causes:
- Windows security (UAC) does not grant true administrative permission to local administrator accounts.
Resolution:
The best practice resolution to this issue is to join the server to a domain and use domain security.
If the server must be outside a domain, you can resolve the issue by disabling UAC on the server.
- In RegEdit, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
- Set the value of the DWORD entry EnableLUA to 0 (zero)
- Restart the server.
Notes:
As always exercise due care when editing the Registry.
