Step 2: Grant DCOM Remote Launch and Activate Permission
In the Windows domain environment, the Domain Administrator account has the necessary privilege level to access the WMI
component for BACS management and, therefore, no special configuration is needed. In a large enterprise, however, a user
who is accessing the local or remote host using the BACS4 client GUI may not always have the domain administrator account
privilege. It is necessary to configure WMI security access on the remote host to allow the user to connect to it using the
BACS4 client GUI.
This configuration can be easily done using the following procedure. If you do not have sufficient privileges to configure
security for WMI access, contact your Network Administrator.
