    Click Next to go to the next screen. Before you are taken to the next screen, the installation verifies access to the specified NNM for Windows server.

  5. Specify the HP NNM Adapter user.

    Specify the Windows user account and password for the account to be used to run the HP NNM Adapter components on the HPOM server. All entries on this screen are required and must be valid.

    The specified user account must have at least local administrator rights on the system where HPOM is installed. If you do not use the HP-OVE-User user, make sure that the chosen user has access rights to both the NNM for Windows server and the HPOM server. The user right Logon as a Service must be set for the specified user on the HPOM server.

    For workgroup installations. In the Domain box, specify the local computer NetBios name. In the User box, specify the same account that HPOM was installed with.

  7. Start the final installation phase.

    In the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install to start the final installation phase.

    All required information is now specified and the installation begins its final phase. During the installation of the HP NNM Adapter component on the NNM server system, the installation checks to see if a valid installation is present, and if not, displays a message and closes the installation.

    Note NOTE:
    For workgroup installations only: The DCOM settings cannot be applied automatically during the installation process.
    As a result, the following error message appears in a pop-up window:

    "Could not set DCOM permissions for "NgNnmDwProvider" on the NNM server. Please set these permissions manually before continuing this installation. You need to add start and access permissions for local administrators, the SYSTEM account and the user running the NNM adapter, for example the HP-OVE-USER. This user also has to be added to the local admin group or to the DCOM Security Limits for Access Permissions and Launch Permissions."

    Set the DCOM permissions manually before you continue the installation.

    This phase may take up to one hour for large environments and cannot be cancelled once started.

  8. Complete the installation.

    When the InstallShield Wizard Completed page opens, click Finish to close the wizard.

    All HPOM nodes that are also found in NNM are associated with HP NNM Web Tools.
