Getting Started

Setting a Worker Account

Royal Server is running as a Windows Service and as such is using the Local System account by default. For commands Royal Server is executing as well as internal activities, a Worker Account is used. It is vital, that this account has network access rights, otherwise Royal Server is unable to manage your servers.

After installation Royal Server needs to be provided with a Worker Account configuration. Click on Royal Server and Service Configuration and on Change for the Worker Account. Enter a valid account that has administrative rights and network access.

Important

If the machine is domain joined, the Worker Account has to be be a domain account (no domain admin rights are needed, but the chosen account needs to enumerate domain users if domain users and groups are configured for Royal Server).

Note

If you start the Royal Server Configuration Tool for the first time, the tool will ask you for the Worker Account configuration automatically.
