To prepare for the installation of Enterprise Vault Reporting

1. In the Active Directory domain, create a Windows user account named, say, "ReportingUser", for Enterprise Vault Reporting to use when accessing the Enterprise Vault databases. This reporting user account does not require a mailbox, and it need not be a member of the Windows Administrators group.

   When you create the reporting user account:

   • Select the Password Never Expires option.

   • Leave the remaining check boxes clear (User Must Change Password At Logon, User Cannot Change Password, and Account Is Disabled).

2. If you use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services, grant the reporting user account full access on the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder, which is typically C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files.

3. Give the Vault Service account a "Content manager" role on the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services server. Refer to the Microsoft documentation for instructions on how to assign Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services roles to user accounts.

4. Add the Vault Service account to the Local administrators group on the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services server computer.
