Changing the "tmersrvd" Account that Framework Uses

We are running Framework 3.7.1 on Solaris 7 (TMR Server). We have installed the Tivoli Endpoint on Windows 2000 Server. When I issue the 'wadminep <ep label> view_version' command it works fine. I want to change from Tivoli using the local "tmersrvd" account to the Domain "tmersrvd" account. So I renamed the local tmersrvd account to "old.tmersrvd" account and rebooted the server. Then I issued the 'wadminep <ep label> view_version', but it failed with a connection reset by peer.

# wadminep new14 view_version
Performing browse mode 'view_version' on endpoint 'new14'
EXCEPTION
Data was not received because the connection was reset by the peer.
ipc_recv failed: connection reset by peer

Again I renamed the local "old.tmersrvd" account to "tmersrvd" account and tested with the 'wadminep <ep label> view_version' command and it works fine. Any ideas?

If your Windows 2000 machine is part of an Active Directory domain, then your problem is probably related to permissions in making an anonymous call against an object in the directory. By default this is would not be allowed.

Check out the "ADS and Tivoli.doc" which you can download from here. This explains what needs to be done to get domain accounts to work properly.

You don’t need to worry about Windows NT Domains not using Active Directory as NT domain servers accept anonymous calls by default.
