To run ADManager Plus as a service, perform the following steps after downloading and installing ADManager Plus.
Click Start > ADManager Plus > Install ADMP Service.
When ADManager Plus is installed as a service, it runs with the privileges of the system account by default.
Note: Ensure that you have the necessary privileges to install and run the product:
For using the Reports module, ordinary user privileges are sufficient.
To perform management operations, such as creating or modifying users, administrator privileges or a user with the necessary privileges are required.
You can add the credentials in the domain settings page to perform AD operations. These credentials will be used irrespective of whether the tool is installed as a service or an application.
If you are installing ADManager Plus in Windows Vista, ensure that user account control is disabled. Because enabling user account control will allow only the administrator to install the software.
