StruxureOn GW: backup failed on \\localhost\C$ administrative shares?

[DCIM_Support]

Hi all!

Sometimes it is necessary to install and use the server software similar to StruxureOn Gateway, on Windows OS (7/8/10 or 2008/2012/2016) without registration in AD. It is normal both for test environments, and for productive.

But in that case it is possible to face above the specified problem: and it thus that the backup configuration in StruxureOn GW is absolutely true and checked (including access rights and passwords). At the same time in logfile C:\Program Files\StruxureOn Gateway\log\console.log we have mass here of such errors:

03/22/2017:21:38:17.341:ERROR:http-nio-443-exec-3 SmbFileSystem:190 - Change directory Exception: Access is denied.

SOLUTION:

If you are not in a AD: UAC will prevent remote access to administrative shares. Therefore it is necessary set registry option, which allows remote UAC:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
Data: 1 (to disable, 0 enables filtering)
Type: REG_DWORD (32-bit)

or

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1

That's it, reboot OS or the StruxureOn Gateway services isn't required, changes are applied immediately.

With best regards.
