How to change the Windows administrator password
The default Windows administrator user has full permissions and cannot be
deleted. For these reasons, change this password as soon as possible, and you
should use a very strong password.
Caution:
Do not forget or lose your new Windows administrator password!
It cannot be recovered, and you must reformat the operating system drive.
All data on the operating system drive will be lost; however, no data on the
RAID (D: drive) will be affected or lost.
To change the administrator password:
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then click Change a password .
2. Type the old password, type a new password, type your new password again
to confirm it, and then press Enter.
The default user name and password are
admin / admin .
You successfully changed the administrator password. Your new Windows
administrator password is in effect.
Installing Windows updates and updating virus protection
From time to time Microsoft releases updates for the operating system used
for your probe or your virus protection software vendor updates their virus
definitions. You should apply those updates as soon as feasible, however, you
should always apply the updates manually.
We do not recommend that you allow Windows to automatically install the
updates and restart the system. By manually applying the updates you ensure
that the system restarts properly and that the probe starts correctly whether
running as a Windows service or as an application.
For your anti-virus software, follow these guidelines:
♦
Ensure TCP ports 25901 and 25903 are open. All Observer Platform
products communicate on these ports.
♦
Ensure UDP ports 25901 and 25903 are open if you use Observer
Management Server (OMS).
♦
For all probes, disable any scanning of the Observer installation directory
(typically C:\Program Files\Observer ) and of D: (RAID) drive as
scanning greatly diminishes the performance of writing data to disk.
♦
The performance of the operating system may be greatly diminished
when using anti-virus software.
♦
Under no circumstance should anti-virus scan the RAID drive (D:).
How to disable NetBIOS
By default GigaStor sends NetBIOS sends name resolution requests to the
Internet to resolve host names. You may turn off NetBIOS if this type of name
resolution is not needed in your environment.
NetBIOS is part of the operating system and is turned off within Windows.
