WOW! Thanks. I have worked for months to figure this out!!

Even HP support had no clue!

Just a note for anyone else having problems, since Microsoft is pushing toward domain names with a "." in them, such as domain.local, when logging in, leave off the ".local" and just put the part prior to the dot.

domain\username as pointed out above. The .local in our domain threw me off.

Kudos to Rich and all else who contributed.

Hi all,

as a noob, I finally got it to a server with HP System Management Homepage 7.1.2.3 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

It's a domain controller.

I just want to state it clear for the other noobs as I was lucky and when whole domain\admin didn't work, I just looked at the user account controls in system control what could be my login name as my noobness drove me a bit lazy.

So, if your admin account is still "Administrator" and your domain is corp.contoso.com (I had to read all the MS stuff and it haunts me in my dreams) and your server's name is "server", so your fully qualified domain name would be server.corp.contoso.com.

Your login name would just be "CORP\Administrator".

Your System Management Homepage uses local administrator authentication. So, just look at your user control panel in system control and maybe you're done.

What about the blind man and the colour?!? Okay, in Germany, we're more rude and say literally that a blind chicken might also pick a corn sometimes.

Greetings to you all.

"So, just look at your user control panel in system control and maybe you're done"

Brilliant tip 'cause this is exactly the case... It even looks like the logonname is CASE sensitive. Thanks!

I am quite sure that usernames are not case sensitive for the SMH under Windows...

SMH is using since a long time the OS credentials to validate. If this server is a DC indeed the domain must be added before the user account...

If it is not a domain controller, than the local administrator account can be used... Also any account in the local admins group can be used as well...

Kr,
