CITECT REGISTRY HOW TO

If you do not know how to change security settings in Windows or on the Active Directory Domain, you should not be doing it. It does not describe the way to change these settings. Assumptions This document simply states what the settings that need to be changed. If the firewall is not your problem, and you have run the OS Configurator Utility, you must set the following settings manually. This software firewall is only useful if you do not have a hardware or corporate firewall protecting your systems from the outside world. If you are having problems running Wonderware software on Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, the first thing that Wonderware recommends doing is shutting off the built-in Windows firewall. This allows the utility to set security settings without being overwritten by the domain policies. Alternatively, the network administrator can set it up so that the user is allowed to change security settings on Windows nodes. In this case, the security settings must be changed manually by the network administrator. If the Active Directory Domain locks down security at the domain level, the utility is not successful in changing the security settings. The most likely reason is that the system is part of a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain. There are several reasons that the OS Configurator Utility does not allow Wonderware software to function properly on a Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 node.

If you have already run the utility and are still having problems running Wonderware software, you may need to configure some security settings manually. If you have not tried using the utility, please go to Wonderware Technical Support and download the OS Configurator Utility.
