Hello,

I have spent the last few hours searching for the answer so please dont ask me to search for it.

I have recently installed Acronis Backup and Recovery 2011 onto a few of my servers, one of which is a domain controller. I have then gone to add remote user permissions for one of my junior technicians.

The process is fairly straight forward by adding him to the "Acronis Remote Users" group on each of the local users and groups on the servers. However domain controllers dont have a 'local users and groups' function as this is disabled when the DC role is installed.

Does anyone know how I can go about giving someone remote admin permissions for acronis backup and recovery 2011 when it has been installed on a domain controller? I would prefer not to have to reinstall acronis every time I need to add someone.

Thank You
Alan

Hi Alan,

Consider using the command-line interface to add the user. For example, if the name of your domain controller is 'mydc', and the name of the user is 'technician', run the following command as a local administrator:

net localgroup "mydc $ Acronis Remote Users" technician /add

(Note that on a domain controller, the name of the remote users group includes the name of the DC followed by a dollar sign.)

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Nikolay

Hi Nikolay,

You were 100% correct. I didn't know of the mydc $ groupname setup of the domain controllers. I have added the user to the group this way and they now have access.

Thank you very much
Alan
