No Device under Device Pool

When our Veritas Backup Exec was loaded onto the server it was given different people to logon remotely to the server. When I log in as myself remotely to the server and go to the Veritas program, it shows there is not stand alone drive added to the device pool. I try to load a device via the wizard but it says:

Cannot configure devices remotely.
This operation must be perfored locally on the administered server.

Our IT tried doing this but had no success. Could someone please help us with this as we are needing to get our backup running correctly.

Can you not use a generic remote login specifically for backup?

Where I work we use a backup account which is a member of the administrators group and run backup exec at login where all devices are setup etc...

Like you say you have to setup Backup Exec for each user who accesses the server otherwise.
