    Hello,

    yes create nbwebsrv/nbwebgrp on the target Windows Master. These can be local accounts. Maybe their absence is a cause of "account privilege check" error. Accounts are needed on Master's only, not Media's/OpsCenter's.

    You must inspect on a network level (netstat -a -b) which process in listening on port 1556. If it is a pbx_exchange.exe, then it is ok.

    Regards

    Regarding "Port availability". Sort is complaining because it is in use, it expect the port to be free.

    Please note there there is a difference between a installation assessment and a upgrade assessment.

    If you know Netbackup components already install you can leave out the warning.

    Hi Nicolai. I just verified and the listening process on 1556 port is pbx_exchange.exe so I guess it's fine.

    Thank you

      Hello,

      I have always granted LogOn As A Service to nbwebsvc user only. So maybe this is a false warning.
