FactoryTalk Directory Configuration Wizard

How do I run the
FactoryTalk Directory
 Configuration Wizard?
  1. On the computer where
    FactoryTalk Services Platform
     is installed, log on to
    Windows
     with a user account that is a member of the local
    Windows
     Administrators group.
  2. Click
    Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Tools > FactoryTalk Directory Configuration Wizard.
FactoryTalk Directory
 products share a common address book, finding and providing access to plant floor resources, such as data tags and graphic displays.
Configuration of the
FactoryTalk Directory
 is automatic during installation of
FactoryTalk Services Platform
. Use
FactoryTalk
 Directory Configuration Wizard when circumstances require a manual configuration of
FactoryTalk Directory
. The
FactoryTalk Directory
 Configuration Wizard is for use by
FactoryTalk
 administrators.
Run the
FactoryTalk Directory
 Configuration Wizard if:
  • An error occurs while installing the
    FactoryTalk Services Platform
    , or a message displays instructing to run the wizard manually.
  • A valid
    FactoryTalk
     Administrator account could not be found for the directory during an upgrade of an existing
    FactoryTalk Directory
     from
    FactoryTalk® Automation Platform
     version 2.0.
  • If
    FactoryTalk Services Platform
     was installed from a remote client (such as Remote Desktop Services). The
    FactoryTalk Directory
     cannot be configured from a remote client. The
    FactoryTalk Directory
     Configuration Wizard must be run at the
    Windows
     console on the computer.
  • The
    FactoryTalk
     administrator account in the network directory or local directory is not accessible. Running the wizard resets a locked administrator account, or changes an expired password for the administrator account. Alternatively, have another user whose account is a member of the
    FactoryTalk
     Administrators group reset your locked account or password for you.
If the administrator account was disabled, have another user enable the account in
FactoryTalk Administration Console
. The last
FactoryTalk
 administrator account in a directory cannot be disabled. If no other user is available, or the password to another administrator account is not known (for example, because that user left the organization), contact
Rockwell Automation
 Technical Support.
