Since then i have loaded SIM 4.2 and have most of our servers seeing everything and updating with no problems. I have older servers that i am trying to update the agents using PSP 7.3. The problem i'm running into is the older version (7.1 and before) used an admin, guest, or operator account and i don't know what the passwords for any of them are. How do i configure/add a new account for the system homepage when installing the new 7.3 agents? Any help would be appreciated.

It is now required for accessing the agents - the good thing about the new SMH component is that it does not require you to setup these side access accounts, instead it uses OS authentication to sign-in. Any Windows' userid that is in the Administrator group can be used to sign-in into the agents (or more accurately the SMH) with Admin access. If you do not wish to have to use your Admin ID's you can configure the SMH to give priviledge levels to other OS groups that you can setup. It is discussed in this doc here:<BR /><A href="http://h200007.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00293371/c00293371.pdf" target="_blank">http://h200007.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00293371/c00293371.pdf</A><BR /><BR />Good luck,<BR />-Rich Wed, 31 Aug 2005 13:25:01 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/configure-username-and-password-in-7-3/m-p/3615845#M14230 Rich Purvis 2005-08-31T13:25:01Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/configure-username-and-password-in-7-3/m-p/3615846#M14231 Rich,<BR /> Thanks for the info. I have another question, when you say OS Authentication your're talking about a local Administrator account correct. What if the box is a DC where there are no local Admin accounts?
