Process Manager 4.1 on Workgroups
Hi all, I just want to share with this community the procedure that I use to work with LPM and Workgroups, hope this help!!!
I was working with LPM 4.1 on workgroup (no domain, no AD) and has some problems to connect to the LPM server with Process Designer console.
The scenario is LPM Server on Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP1 on Workgroup, Process Designer Console on Windows XP SP2 on Workgroup, both with LPM 4.1 06-06-2008 Rollup update
The first problem was when try to add a LPM Server to Process Designer Console, the error message that I received was:
To resolve this first issue:
Make sure that the account and password that you use to login on the XP machine need to exist on the LPM Server
Go to the LPM Server and create the account with same password, only need to be part of Users Group
After doing that, now you be able to add a LPM server on the Process Designer Console, the next problem that comes in was when try to connect to the LPM Server from the Remote Process Designer Console, the following error message appears:
To fix this do the following:
On the XP machine, need to Turn Off the "Use Simple file sharing (Recommended), to do that go to Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. By default this option is tuned on if you are working with Workgroups.
Go to the LPM Server, and launch the Database Utility
Validate the credential and select the Configure and Restart Services button
Select user/groups Tab
Select Add | Local Windows users and groups
Under Domain box, put the name of the XP machine
Under LDAP Path box, put the name of the XP machine like this WinNT://XPMachine Name
Under User name box, put the name of the XP machine like this XPMachineName\XP user name (you already create this account on the LPM server)
Just select ok, and that's it. Now you are able to connect to the LPM Server.
If someone know another way to acomplish that, please share!!!
