CTM Agent - Windows 2008 Configuration

I have an agent on Win2008 Server (6.4.01).

 

We have an account that runs all of our batch on this server.  Some of the jobs map to other machines to mv,cp and/or archive files.  I thought I could run this agent as a local system acct. and then use ctmpwd utility to define the user and password.  This did not work.  We may have other job owners who need to run batch on this agent in the future.

 

Here is what I have and I am hoping that someone will confirm or advise on this - so I know the best practice.

 

Agent running as This Acct  (domain\user).

On the Agent configuration:

Logon as User N

Run user Logon Script Y

ctmpwd to define domain\user to the Agent.

 

Is there a better method?  If I add other users to ctmpwd and set them as owner in job definition will that work correctly?  It seems to me that if I am using ctmpwd that I should be able to run the agent as a local system account.. why not?

 

Thanks,

James

You are showing your age!!  Use the GUI to set the credentials instead of the ctmpwd utility...j/k...I believe both will work.  I have looked at your post a few times to see what you are attempting to do.  What I take away is that you are telling the agent: 'Logon as User N', however; you want it to act as Logon as User Y.  Am I correct?

 

If you chose to use N - then I believe it will simply run as the user who the agent as started as.  And you lose some functionality.  Could you not change the agent to Logon as User?
