692.0. "Changing name of Manager's VMS account" by GLOVES::ALLERTON (Steve Allerton 343-0205) Fri May 15 1992 17:48

    I'm fairly certain this has been discussed previously, yet I was
    unable to find anything related to it in earlier conferences or 
    STARS...
    
    Consider the scenario where an ALL-IN-1 system has been installed, and 
    the VMS account serving as the ALL-IN-1 Manager's account is named 
    ALLIN1V24.
    
    The system is to be upgraded to Version 3.0, and the intention is to 
    change the name of the manager's VMS account to ALLIN1V3 (or something 
    different).  What steps need to be carried out to accomplish this?
    
    Thanks,

692.1Guessing...ULYSSE::TORTUE::REDMONDTony Redmond (at the ATS)Sun May 17 1992 18:3126
     Hi Steve,
     
     This is just a set of guesses...
     
     1. Shutdown ALL-IN-1
     
     2. Create the new VMS account
     
     3. Delete the old one.
     
     4. Change profile records for ALL-IN-1 accounts to use the new VMS a/c
     
     5.	Change the A1CONFIG records to use the new a/c
     
     6.	SET FILE/OWN=new_ac for everything in the [ALLIN1V24...] directory 
        structure.
     
     7.	Start up ALL-IN-1 and see what breaks.  Check that the sender and 
        fetcher run, that priv'd and unpriv'd users can create and send mail, 
        that the TM scan works, and the background formatter works. 
     
     It's a start. Others may have more words of wisdom.

    	Well I'd cheat and make the new account identifier have the same
    	value as the old account... That saves all those ownership
    	problems.
