Adding A New Ad Credential - SolarWinds User Device Tracker UDT Quick Start Manual

After you have the desired account setup for WMI access on the AD domain
controller, you can add the account credentials to UDT. To do that, see "Adding a
New AD Credential

Adding a New AD Credential

Follow these steps to add a new AD credential into UDT.
To add a new credential:
1. Click Manage Active Directory Administrator Credentials in the UDT
Credentials area in UDT Settings (Settings > UDT Settings).
2. Click Add UDT Credential
3. Enter a Credential Name. For example, if this credential were the one that
you want UDT to use in retrieving event log data from an AD domain
controller, you might call it Event Log Reader.
4. Enter a User Name (Domain\Username) that is known within a specific
domain.
Note: Whatever account you enter must have appropriate permissions on the AD
domain controller for the tasks for which UDT would use it. The permission
required to access the Event Log is Event Log Reader. See the section on
"Defining Credentials for Polling Across Domains" if the AD domain controller for
which you are setting up UDT credentials resides in a domain outside the domain
of the UDT server.
