The DeltaVAdmin account configuration for connections to a domain-based DeltaV from any non-DeltaV node that is in a workgroup

The following table illustrates the DeltaVAdmin user account creation for connecting a workgroup-based OPC or other DCOM client to a domain-based DeltaV computer (for example a DeltaV Remote Access Server (RAS), Campaign Manager Operator Interface, or DeltaV Batch Executive).

Important

The following rules must be adhered to when creating a local DeltaVAdmin account on ANY computer (DeltaV or non-DeltaV):

Always configure the local DeltaVAdmin account to not allow local or remote login.

Use gpedit.msc under Local Computer Policy → Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → User Rights Assignment.

Add the local DeltaVAdmin account to the Deny log on locally and Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services policies.
The DeltaVAdmin accounts must remain synchronized (that is, passwords must match) at all times.
When a DeltaV-side, local DeltaVAdmin account is required, only make it a member of the local DeltaV user group. Do not make it a member of any Administrator-level groups.

Connecting to:	Connecting from:	Local DeltaVAdmin account needed on the client side?	Local DeltaVAdmin account needed on the DeltaV side?
DeltaV Batch Executive	DeltaV Remote Workstation (RAS) DeltaV Remote Remote Workstation (RAS)	YES Note A local DeltaVAdmin account is created during the installation of DeltaV on the Remote (and Remote Remote) Workstation.	YES Note Needed only on the machines (Batch Executives) to which you are connecting. A DeltaV system can have up to 4 Batch Executives.	This is required when running DeltaV Operate and opening a picture that connects to a Batch Executive as well as when running Batch Operator Interface. Important For the DeltaVAdmin user account, the local account's (Client side) password must match the DeltaV DOMAIN account. (Domain\DeltaVAdmin)
