Installing the management application 27

To configure namespace security:

1.

Start the WMI Control from the command prompt:
wmimgmt
On Microsoft Windows 9x or NT4 systems that have WMI installed, enter the following command
instead:
wbemcntl.exe
Or, to access the WMI Control and the Security tab, do one of the following:

o

Right-click on My Computer, and then click Manage.
For Microsoft Windows 2008, the Server Manager utility opens. WMI control is located in the left
pane.

o

To open the Server Manager on Microsoft Windows 2012, select Tools→Computer Management.
WMI Control is located on the left pane under Services and Applications. Right-click WMI Control to
access the properties.

o

For all other versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems, double-click Services and
Applications, and then double-click WMI Control.

2.

Right-click WMI Control, and then click Properties.

3.

In the WMI Control Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.
A folder named Root, with a plus sign (+) next to it, appears.

4.

Expand the tree, and then locate the namespace permissions that need configuration.

5.

Click Security.
A list of users and permissions displays. If the user account that needs modification is on that list, modify
the permissions. If the user account is not on the list, click Add to add the user from the location, for

example, a local machine or domain—wherever the account resides.

6.

If a user account needs to access the namespace remotely, select Allow in the Remote Enable permission
setting.

Granting DCOM remote launch and activate permissions

By default, in a Microsoft Windows domain environment, the domain administrator account has access
rights to the WMI component used for the BACS management. No other special configuration is required.
In a large enterprise environment, however, users that need access to the machine running the BACS4 client
GUI might not have the necessary rights to access the hosting machine by default. A network administrator
must configure WMI security access on the machine hosting BACS4 to allow the appropriate users access.
To grant DCOM remote launch and activate permissions:

1.

Select Start→Run, enter dcomcnfg, and then click OK.
The Component Services dialog box opens.

2.

Expand Component→Services→Computers, right-click My Computer, and then select Properties.

3.

Click the COM Security tab.

4.

In Launch and Activation Permissions, select Edit Limits.

5.

If the required name or group does not appear in the groups or user names list, complete the following
steps:

a.

Select Add.

b.

In the Enter the object names to select field, add the required name and group, and then click OK.
