Since PG requires a local (weak) user to own the service, And since a DC cannot have local user, Can I assume that we cannot install PG on a Windows DC? We are on PG V8.2.4. Thanks Danny Abraham BMC Software CTM&D Business Unit 972-52-4286-513 danny_abraham@bmc.com ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

Nope; a domain user is effectively a "local" user when on a domain controller, so as long as you're okay with the user being in your domain it'll work fine. > We are on PG V8.2.4. BTW, since this is evidently a new install, why not go directly to 8.2.11? (Or 8.3?) ... Hmm, or is this an existing PG install on a server being promoted to a domain controller? If it's in an existing domain it'll wipe your local user list, of course, but once the account is recreated it shouldn't have any problem. > Thanks > > Danny Abraham - Josh Williams ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
