Configure the permissions

Create an Active Directory user and give them access to the file shares on the network. Add this user to the local administrators group.

Configure IIS

The application pools used by Perception need to be configured in IIS to use the same user to access the file shares. This will ensure that access is available to all the correct folders and files for all the servers. To change the application pools so that they use the same user, follow the steps below for instructions in Windows Server 2008 R2:

2. Select your server and click View Application Pools from the Actions menu on the right.
3. Select the Questionmark.Perception application pool.
4. Click on Advanced Settings....
5. In the Process Model section, click where the word Identity | NetworkService appears and click on the browse (...) button.
6. Select the Custom account option button.
7. Click Set.
8. Enter the username and password for the service user you created previously, and click OK.
9. Click OK again to close the Advanced Settings window.
10. Repeat steps 3 to 8 for all Questionmark.* application pools.
