Configuring local security privileges for the SharePoint Servers

On each SharePoint server in the farm you must assign certain local security privileges. These privileges are necessary since the NetBackup for SharePoint Agent logs on as the SharePoint user when it accesses data.

To configure the local security privileges

  1. Open the Local Security Policy.
  2. Click Local Policies.
  3. In the User Rights Assignment, add the account to the following policies:
    • Allow log on locally

    • Debug programs

    • Log on as a service

    • Replace a process level token

  4. Run the group policy update command (group policy update) for this change to take effect:

    gpupdate /Force
