Spector 360 acts in a similar fashion on a Novell Network as it would on a Windows Network, and Administrator authentication at each computer is often the issue. There are a few distinctions that are noted below. The biggest potential problem occurs when the underlying local Windows accounts are not configured properly. For instance, if all Novell users are mapped to a common local Windows account, the Spector 360 recordings will appear confusing.
To deploy when users log in to a domain:
If users log on to both the local machine and the Novell Server at the same time, during Setup provide the Control Center with a login account that meets these specifications:
The Windows User used for the Control Center must be a member of the Local Administrators Group on the on the Server computer.
The Windows User must be a member of the Administrators Group on each machine you wish to administer. This can be accomplished by the current Windows user being a member of the Domain Admin group, and that group, in turn, being in the Local Administrator group of the machines to be administered.
Note: If an improperly credentialed Windows account is used, the Control Center will not function properly.
To deploy when users log in locally:
If users do not log on to a domain, Spector 360 behaves exactly as if it were in a Windows Workgroup environment. Follow the instructions to create a common Administrator account, as described in Deploying in a Windows Workgroup. Provide the Control Center with the common Administrator account during Setup and when installing Clients.
To view consolidated user data:
Spector 360 stores user information as a part of the recorded data. On a Novell network, one user may have multiple designations depending on where and how the user logs in (e.g., COMPUTER1\jane and COMPUTER2\jane). To prevent multiple sets of data per user, Spector 360 provides an option to combine the user names into one "account," with one set of data records (<Combined>\jane). This setting is provided in the Control Center, under Data Vault Properties.
