How To Set System Package Identity

This article describes how to set the System Package Identity in Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS).

Setting System Package Identity

When installing Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), set the system package identity before creating any new packages as follows:

1. Create a new local Windows NT group named MTS Administrators and a new local user named MTS Administrator.
2. Add the MTS Administrator user to the MTS Administrators and Administrators groups.
3. Set the identity of the System package to MTS Administrator.
4. Shut down the System package so that it restart with the new identity.

User Rights for MTS Packages

Make sure the user account for the identities of the system package and other MTS packages have the Windows NT Log on as a service user right. You can verify this by using the Windows NT User Manager:

1. From the Policies menu, select User Rights.
2. Click Show Advanced User Rights.
