Storage Mirroring groups
Storage Mirroring requires two local groups on each source and target for security. During the
installation process, these groups are automatically created. The groups are assigned specific
case-sensitive names:
Double-Take Admin
Double-Take Monitors
The local administrator and the domain administrator are automatically added to the Double-Take
Admin group.
Adding users to a group
Users that need administrator access to Storage Mirroring must be added to the Double-Take
Admin group. All users that need monitor only access must be added to the Double-Take Monitors
group. In both cases, local users, domain users, or global groups may be added to the local groups.
To add, delete, or modify users for a group, follow these steps:
1. Select Start, Programs, Administrative Tools (Common), and User Manager. (If you are
on a domain controller, select User Manager for Domains.)
2. Double-click the group to be modified or highlight it and select User, Properties.
3. To add local users, domain users, and/or global groups to the group, click Add.
4. Select the local user, domain user, and/or global group to be included in the Storage Mirroring
group.
5. Click OK to return to the Local Group Properties dialog box.
6. Click OK to return to the User Manager.
7. Exit the User Manager.
NOTE: If Storage Mirroring is installed on a member servers, it will use the local groups. If an
Active Directory user is granted access to the Active Directory Double-Take Admin or
Double-Take Monitors groups, the user or domain group must also be granted access
to the local Storage Mirroring groups. If Storage Mirroring is installed on a domain
controller, the Active Directory group will provide sufficient access. The groups are
created in the Users OU and need to stay here. If the groups are not there, users will be
unable to log into Storage Mirroring on the domain controller.
