Step 6:

Create toptools service account.


Toptools uses a local Windows user account “toptools service” to provide system access to the Toptools services. It
also creates three user groups called “toptools”, “toptools operators” and “toptools admins”. These Windows user
groups are used to control access to the Toptools application when Toptools is installed onto an NTFS partition.
Refer to the White Paper “HP Toptools Security” (

www.hp.com/toptools

) for more information.


If there was a previous installation of Toptools on the local Windows system you must use the same Toptools
service account password for each installation.
