Brand new Dataminer installation without Administrator account

Solved1.53K views11th July 2023

Carlos Morales [SLC] [DevOps Member]168 29th October 2020 0 Comments

I have a brand new Dataminer installation using the installer available in Dojo. I have followed all the steps of the installer (executed with my Local User which is an Admin).

After a Dataminer restart I can't access to the cube because my user is not recognized and I don't have the option to create a new one, if I don't have access to the Administrator account, what should I do?

Hi Carlos,

Since your local user has administrator rights, you could temporarily change the password of the built-in administrator account. If the local administrator is disabled (which is normally the case when the server joined a domain controller), you will need to enable it first.

Once your local user has been added to the DataMiner agent, you could undo the changes in the built-in administrator account. Since you cannot undo the password update, please inform your IT team so they can take the necessary actions.

The answer from Miguel is completely correct however it seems that a lot of people seem to overlook the option to already create a user account in the DataMiner installer itself.

I’ve tried with a new install and the installer itself doesn’t allow to select that option if you click “Install” it only asks for the DataMiner ID.

If the user selects “Customize” then all the options presented by Jelle are available.

Should a new version of the installer ask for this? I don’t know…

This was indeed an issue in the 9.6.0 version of the installer, this should already be fixed in the 10.0.0 version of the DataMiner installer.
