In MSME
8.0, the On-Demand User password is stored in the Windows registry
until the first On-Demand scan is run. From MSME
8.5, the On-Demand User password is
not stored in the registry.
User credentials/password management:
- The On-Demand User password can be stored/reset from the MSME Graphical User Interface (GUI) under Settings & Diagnostics, On-Demand Settings.
- If the password is already reset in Active Directory, deselect the Reset the password in LDAP also option.
- Resetting the password in any Mailbox server will update the password for all instances of MSME within all Mailbox servers of the domain forest.
Create or remove the On-Demand User manually:
NOTE: Ensure that the On-Demand scan is
not in progress before modifying the user credentials.
- Run the following command to create the On-Demand User manually:
<INSTALLDIR>McAfee\MSME\bin> configureX64.exe CreateODUser
- Run the following command to remove the On-Demand User manually:
<INSTALLDIR>\McAfee\MSME\bin> configureX64.exe RemoveODUser
NOTE: The user account is removed only if the user account is not shared by another instance of MSME.
