Before you can define the settings for each branch's network file utility, install the program on all the servers where it will be used. The utility must run with a local administrator and with sufficient permissions to write and delete on the imaging box shares. We recommend using the standard eclipse imaging network user for the system to work properly.
When run as a service, you can assign permissions through the Microsoft Service Manager.
Use the following procedures:
To install the Eclipse Network File Utility:
Run the ENFU.exe install program on any Windows based machine.
On a PC, the utility runs as a program.
In an NT environment, the utility can run as a program on a PC or as a service. We recommend running the utility as a service unless you need it to control printing.
Consider the following points when running the Eclipse Network File Utility as a service:
You can set service functions.
A service can run on a machine even though no user is logged on to that machine.
You can set up a service to start when a user turns on the computer.
In theory, the operating system manages a service in a more stable manner then it handles a program.
A service cannot print anything, because a service cannot execute programs that use an interface. This is a Microsoft limitation.
A service cannot run on Windows 95, 98 or ME.
If you are running the utility as a service, set the utility's permissions so that it has Read, Write, and Create permissions to all shares that the utility needs to access.
Note: If you are running the utility as a program, it inherits the Read, Write, and Create permissions of the logged on user. The utility uses these permissions when attempting to access the appropriate share.
Make sure that the host is able to resolve the IP address of the computer on which the utility is running. Because the correct configuration may vary from network to network, consult you local network administrator for assistance, as needed.
To set NT service permissions:
On the computer where you are running the Eclipse Network File Utility as a service, in the system directory structure, right click the My Computer icon and select Manage to display the Computer Management window.
Note: The names of windows, tabs, and fields in the following steps may vary from machine to machine.
Double-click Services and Applications.
Double-click Services.
In the Name column, double-click the Eclipse Network File Utility service to display the utility's Properties window.
To set service permissions by assigning a user profile:
Select the Log On tab, and then select This account.
Under Hardware Profile, enter and enable the user profile for the service to run.
To set up a service to start when the computer is turned on:
Select the General tab.
In the Startup type field, click the dropdown box and select Automatic.
Press Esc to save your changes and clear the Properties screen.
