Changing service account for ViewDrop

J

J Burford Fields

Our viewdrop folder is on a different machine. In such a
configuration, the ViewDrop service account needs to be an AD account
and have membership in the administrators group on both machines, and
I read where Gary says that everyone needs read/write permissions to
the ViewDrop folder.

Fact is that when it was installed, the ViewDrop service was
configured to use a local machine account. Why this works at all, I
do not know, but it does generate a lot of errors and probably limits
performance so I want to fix it.

The fix looks simple enough (pick a better account, adjust group
membership and permissions) but has anybody done it on a production
system?
