file.
b. Follow the screen prompts accepting the defaults and License agreement.
c. Restart the File Gateway server.

Creating Windows Users and User Groups on the File
Gateway Server
You must add Windows users and user groups to the Avid NEXIS File Gateway server using the
standard Windows 2008 operating system process. The following procedures are provided to help
with that process.
Restrictions for user names:
• If a user name contains a space, the part of the name after the space will not be displayed in the
User List after you save the configuration. Avid recommends not using spaces in user names.
• The File Gateway does not support user names that contain any non-ASCII characters (including
Asian and diacritical characters). An error occurs on the client indicating you have an incorrect
URL.
To create a local user account:
1. Right-click Computer and select Manage.
The Server Management Window opens.
2. Expand the “Configuration” folder in the left pane.
3. Click “Local Users and Groups.”
4. Right-click Users and enable New User.
5. Create a user name and password, and confirm the password.
6. Select or clear the appropriate check boxes:
- User must change password the nest time they log on
- User cannot change password
- Password never expires
- Account is disabled
7. Click Create, and then click Close.
