To create a custom DSM account: 1. Sign in to your DSM admin or administrators group account. Go to Package Center and install Active Backup for Business. 2. Go to Control Panel > User and click Create. In the User Creation Wizard, under User information, enter a suitable username and a temporary password. This temporary password will be distributed with the Microsoft installer and must not be used elsewhere. Click Next when done. 3. On the Assign application permissions page, tick Allow next to Active Backup for Business to grant this user access permissions to the package. Then, continue through the wizard to complete the setup. 4. You can now use this user account to deploy the agent to the devices that you want to protect. Generic installer using domain accounts This method can be summarized in the following steps: 1. Create separate DSM accounts for each Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP end user. 2. Download a generic ABB Agent Mircosoft installer file (.msi). 3. Use an Active Directory Group Policy Object or a script to distribute the installer to many PCs. 4. Let end users enter their own domain login details to conclude the setup. Notes: • For safe mass deployment of ABB, you must download and use the latest version of Active Backup for Business Agent. In versions 2.0.3-0472 and below, DSM account login details cannot be changed remotely, which could present a security risk. • If available, Windows Active Directory can also be used to install Active Backup for Business Agent on a number of computers. • Other methods to edit and distribute the agent to remote devices include using scripts and asking users to manually install the agent. • Using a Group Policy Object in Windows Server Manager allows you to prepopulate the Windows installer for the agent with DSM login details.
