Limitations
CMS identification must not be changed
Several key attributes of the Central Management Server (CMS) operating system must not be
modified after Insight Management has been installed. The key attributes are:
• Hostname
• IP address associated with the hostname
• Full name or domain (including the fully qualified domain name)
• DNS entries corresponding to the hostname and domain
If any of these attributes are changed after Insight Management has been installed, many features
of the solution will fail to function properly.
Suggested action
Verify that the identified attributes are correct before installation. If any of these attributes requires
modification after installation, you will need to install a new CMS.
Optionally, if only the hostname or IP address of the CMS needs to be modified, you can consider
using the Data Migration Tool to migrate existing data onto a newly installed CMS. For more
information, see the Data migration of an existing Microsoft Windows CMS to a new Insight
Management system white paper available from the Matrix OE Information Library.
Configuring Matrix OE with a remote Microsoft SQL Server database
Because Windows Single Sign On is used by Matrix OE to connect to the SQL Server database,
the credentials associated with the user account executing a command or service are used to
connect to the remote database. Therefore, user accounts used to execute Matrix OE software that
accesses the database must satisfy the following conditions:
• The user credentials specified for the CMS access and database access during the installation
should be the same, and be trusted domain credentials available to both the CMS and database
systems.
• The user credentials specified during the installation for the database access should have
access permissions to the database.
If you run a CLI command as a user that is not a domain user or does not have database access
permission on the remote database, and the CLI command requires database access, the command
will fail.
