Hi, As explained http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Zmanda_Windows_Client#Running_ZWC_as_some_other_user the Zmanda client for Windows installs with the default username "amandauser" and this cannot be configured by an option.
That username must reflect the username that is running Amanda on the server. That can be changed using a few Windows tools. The script http://cs.ait.ac.th/~on/rename_amanda.vbs automatically performs all the steps required to change Zmanda Windows Client user. I have tested this script on Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bits) and on Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32 bits). To use the script: Download the script in a temporary directory, then run the script with: cscript //nologo rename_amanda.vbs <username> {/delete] Where username is the new user name for ZWC and the option /delete allows to completely remove the old user from the computer. The script will leave 3 files in the directory, secedit_backup.sdb is an important file: it is a backup of the system security before it was modified by the script. I am pretty sure this script will not work properly if some system users (Administrator, etc.) have UTF8 names. Best regards, Olivier --
