Configuring the Storage Mirroring service for Active Directory
The Storage Mirroring service must have privileges to modify Active Directory, if you want to use Active Directory
registration. There are two options for assigning the privileges.
! User account—Assign a user account to the Storage Mirroring service and assign the Active Directory privileges to that
user. To assign the user account and the privileges, follow the steps outlined in Storage Mirroring Service on page 15-4.
Complete the first four steps to select the specific account to run the service, and then complete the remaining steps to
assign the required privileges to the account. Refer to your Windows 200x reference guide for the specific privileges to
assign.
! Storage Mirroring Active Directory object—Give the computer (or domain computers for all computers within a
domain) read/write access to the Double-Take Instances object in Active Directory.
1. Select Start, Program, Administrative Tools, Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Verify that Advanced Features is enabled on the View menu so that the System folder is displayed.
3. Expand the System folder and select WinsockServices.
! If you have not run the Storage Mirroring service under the domain administrator account or an account with
update privileges for Active Directory, there will be no Storage Mirroring Active Directory instance listed. You
will need to right-click on the
Winsock Services folder to modify the setup for all Active Directory instances.
! If you have run the Storage Mirroring service under the domain administrator account or an account with
update privileges for Active Directory,
Double-Take Instances will be listed. You can right-click Double-Take
Instances to modify the Active Directory setup for the one instance or right-click on the Winsock Services
folder to modify the setup for all Active Directory instances.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Click Add and select the specific computer account you are running Storage Mirroring on or Domain Computers
to allow all computers within the domain to update Active Directory.
6. Grant both Read and Write access and click OK.
