Solus - Access is denied

[duzzie]

Hi all, we changed our domain admin password last week and since then whenever we try to install a solus agent we get access is denied to the remote machine. We have found a workaround by using the local machine admin account but cannot figure out why the domain admin account no longer works. We get no error messages at all beforehand its only after we try deploy that this message appears.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Thanks

Was Solus using the domain admin credentials?

Yes, is this the correct way? It has always been like that.

Personally I wouldn't give SOLUS the domain admin account, but create a service account with the correct permissions. This will not worry SOLUS but is much better domain security as you'll have accountability for things that happen with the domain admin account. You'll also be able to change the domain admin password without having to worry about updating the password used by the service account.
