Hello Kern, Erich and anybody else,
first sorry for my delayed answer, but I had the put the backup-problem
aside, doing other stuff.
To make things clear: Bacula has been installed as Domain Administrator
(there is no local Administrator on Windows Domain Controllers, so there
is no chance to install it another way), and ist is running as SYSTEM. It
works this way on a Win XP Professional Machine, but it doesn't on the
Win2K Domain Controller. For those who don't know windows: Generally,
there is a difference between Administrators on stand-alone windows
machines and Domain Administrators, but of course bacula should be
installable by both.
Therefore, my first question is, if somebody is out there who has a bacula
client running on a Domain Controller or if this has ever been tested?
Had the same problems on a NT4 DC, works on a 2k3 DC.
Regards
Christoph

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows FD on Win2k Domain Controller

Chris,
Your comment:
I always get 'ERR=Access is denied' if I want to backup files which
can't be accessed with the user account, the backup service is
running with. This should normaly work using the windows backup-API.
I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. The local
service account (bacula) doesn't have permission to the files.
By default, the fd install isn't going to plop itself into the Backup
Security Group on a domain controller. Consider adding that user
explicitly into the Backup Security Group and test again.
Let everyone know if that works for you,
Erich
Just a note here because there seems to be a bit of confusion. On Win32
machines, Bacula does not use or create the "bacula" account or userid.
The
client must be installed while directly logged into the machine with
account
Adminstrator. If you attempt to install it using some Windows terminal
remote login or are not logged in as Administrator (or possibly the Domain
adminstrator, or whatever Microsoft calls it), you are likely to have
problems.
When installed correctly by the system Administrator, Bacula will run
under
the User name "SYSTEM" and will have access to all files on your system.
If
Bacula is not running as SYSTEM, as shown by the task manager, you have
not
installed it correctly.
This is documented in the manual.
