Permissions for SAP Automatic Workstation Update

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows whether it is mandatory to have your Netweaver Installation server host configured with the following:

u201CAccounts: Guest account statusu201D u2013 Enabled

u201CNetwork Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous usersu201D - Enabled.

I know this is listed in the Installation Guide, but is it suggested or mandatory? We have a few Installation Servers running at remote sites on hosts that act as domain controllers, and these settings go against our domain security policies. Is it possible for frontend clients to still poll these servers and receive updates if these settings are DISABLED? Or will they have to poll servers that have the settings enabled?

All of our domain users are authenticating with accounts that have local administrative rights. No one is a guest, so would this mean that the guest authentication is a non-issue?

Thanks!

You do not need these settings enabled as long as your end users have local administrative rights.
