Getting started with HP SIM 5.3 in a smaller Windows environment (417431-005, January 2008)

If you select Configure secure shell (SSH) access for a Windows target system, the account
you specify must be a member of the local Administrators group. For Windows targets using a
domain account, the account is automatically added to this group.
8. From the Step 4: Enter credentials page, enter the following credentials. The credentials used
in this step must work for all selected target systems. HP recommends using domain administrator
credentials. Credentials entered here are not saved by HP SIM except to run a scheduled task
later.
a. Select one of the following radio buttons:
o Use sign-in credentials. These credentials must be a privileged account on the
managed system.
o Use the following credentials for all systems.
b. In the User name field, enter the system administrator name.
c. In the Password field, enter the system administrator password.
d. In the Password (verify) field, re-enter the system administrator password.
e. In the Domain field, enter the Windows domain if you are using a domain account.
9. Click Run Now. The Task Results page appears.
Note: Click Schedule to run this task at a later time.
Note: The Configure or Repair Agents tool can update multiple target systems. The log
results indicate whether the repair attempt was successful.
The Task Results page displays the following information:
• Status. This field displays the details for each target system within a task instance.
• Exit Code. This field represents the success or failure of an executable program. If
the return value is zero or positive, the executable ran successfully. If a negative
value is returned, the executable failed. This exit code does not indicate that all
configuration attempts were successful. It is possible for some to succeed and for
some to fail.
• Target Name. This field displays the name/IP address of the target.
• The stdout tab. This tab displays the output text information.
• The stderr tab. This tab displays information if the executable experienced an
error.
• View Printable Report.
Reports can be printed for the currently selected target
system or for all target systems associated with the task instance.
To print a report:
a. Click
View Printable Report. An Options Message box
appears, asking if you want to generate a report containing only the
currently selected target system or all systems associated with the task
instance.
b. Select which report to display.
c. Click OK to display the report, or click Cancel to return to the View Task
Results page.
