IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation information
The Interviewer Server servers and services must be run by a user with the same rights as the
Installing User, but this user must also have the ‘Log on as a service’ and ‘Log on as a batch job’
options set. This user does not require SQL DB Creator rights.
Although you can use the same user account for both the Installing and the Running User, we
recommend creating a new user account on each server that is used speci
fi
cally for running
Interviewer Server. This maintains any existing security that you have in place and ensures that
there will be no problems if the local administrator password is changed.
If you are installing on machines within a workgroup, you must create the Installing and Running
Users on all machines in the workgroup that will run Interviewer Server services. The user and
group names should match exactly across all machines as some operating systems can be case
sensitive. If you are installing Interviewer Server on machines within a domain, you should create
the accounts for the Installing and Running Users as domain accounts and then give those accounts
the appropriate local access on each of the servers on which Interviewer Server will be installed.
Note:
If you are using machines in different domains, the Installing and Running Users must be
visible and trusted in all those domains. Both Users must also have permission to create databases
on the machine hosting the Database Service.
