1 Changing the password on the Remote Collector
Since the remote collector is a domain controller, you must change the user password in Active Directory
- Log in to the remote collector as master.
- Select Start - Administrative Tools - Active Directory Users and Computers.
- In the left pane, click on the plus sign next to the site name and then click on users.
- Right click on the user ?master? and click "Reset Password"
- Enter the new password.
- If you changed the password for master, log out of the remote collector and ensure that you can successfully log in with the new password. Or lock the screen and unlock.
- Repeat steps 1-6 for all three user accounts ( nic_system, nic_sftp, nic_sshd) in the site.
- Re-Cache the Password in the services.msc
-
- Start -> Run -> ?Services.msc?
- Right click on each NIC_* service that is starting up at NIC_System and choose properties
- Select the tab at the top that shows ?Log On?
- Reset the password for ./NIC_System and select apply and close
- Set all services on each server that start as NIC_System
- Stop the NIC_Service manager,
- Start the NIC_Service Manager
- All services should start up with the new cached password
- If the services fail to start, the password is incorrect. See Security log in the event log inside the windows server
2 RESET WINSSHD CACHE
- Log in to the remote collector as master (using new password).
- Go to Start?Administrative Tools ?WinSSHD Control Panel
- New Window will open.
- Go to Setting Tab and Click Button ?Clear All ? then click ? OK?
- Enter the following information
-
- Username: nic_sshd
- Password : New Password
- Username: NIC_System
- Username: NIC_SFTP
- It is critical that you enter all accounts into the WIN_SSHD console.
- Click ?Set?
5. Since the RC is Domain Controller, you need to specify the FQDN under the Domain window.
6. Start and Stop the WIN_SSHD service post making the new cache password
3 Verify Remote Collector Connectivity
Log onto the Remote Collector. Ensure the NIC_Forwader service is not running by using the task manager to see if pi_ls_forwarder.exe is running.
If not, start -> Run -> CMD.
CD %_Envision%\bin
Run ?pi_ls_fowarder.exe ?v? to test transfer. This will verify the NIC_SSHD password has been reset properly.
4 Change NIC System Windows Collection password
Log onto the GUI of the Asrv and browse to System Configuration - > Services - > Device Services - > Windows Service
Click on Manage Windows Domain
Choose *.nic Domains which are the enVision domain itself
Click the domain and change the NIC_System Passwords
The NIC_System should be the account it collects from Always (Not Master)
