Setting up a Terminal Services HWeb Account

Overview

For an additional monthly fee, Hudson clients have the option to use the HWeb Terminal Server instead of obtaining their own server(s) and maintaining their own networks. This server will contain the latest Hudson software, as well as allow Tech Support to assist users using Remote Control.

Directories

First create a directory for the client under the HUDSON main directory, use the client’s name or an abbreviated version for the directory name. Per client directory the following sub-directories should be created: CSVs, HWeb, Logs, Shortcuts. (Using Windows Exploer - Locate the driver letter when the HUDSON main directory is located. Use File New New Folder to create the folders above)

Users

After the directories are created. Users and Groups must be created. First create your group for the client, then the users.

· To create groups, Right click on My Computer from the Windows Desktop then select Manage. Expand Local Users and Groups. Select Groups. Right mouse and select New Group. Enter a Group Name and a description. The description may be the entire name of the company. When finished, select Close.

· To create users, , Right click on My Computer from the Windows Desktop then select Manage. Expand Local Users and Groups. Select Users. Right mouse and select New User. Enter a User Name and a description. The description may be the entire name of the company. The user name is CasE SensiTIve. This is exactly how the name will be entered by the client. All users should have SECURE passwords. When creating the passwords, check the boxes below so that sers CAN NOT change the password and password NEVER expires. ( Use this link to create secure passwords: http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php ) After creating the password, select Close. Find the newly created user from the Users List. Right mouse on the new user and select properties. Review each of the tabs:

• General

Link users with Group. Right click the new group and select Properties. Click ADD at the bottom of the screen. When the Select User window is displayed, type the new user name created in the step above. Repeat for all users of this group.

Sharing and Security

Database Creation

All primary databases for clients on the Terminal Services will be in SQL. Create a normal SQL database (ensure all primary keys and auto numberings are set) with the same name as your CLIENT Directory.

DB Backup

Set the SQL server to backup the Database each night into HudsonBackups
