I'm facing a very peculiar situation. While interacting with a windows server, I can see that CPM can login to the server and verify it however it's throwing the error when I click on the 'change password' button. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1.Check that the account is not locked out. Check that you are able to run the following command from the CPM machine: net use \machine_name\ipc$ /user:. If you can't then you have a connectivity issue between the CPM machine and the host it is trying to change the password on (is the host in DMZ?). Check that the user does not have "user cannot change password" enabled under Local Users and Groups.
2.Check your Windows Domain policy for any restrictions such as Maximum password age, Minimum password age, Minimum password length etc. An easy way to verify if this is the case is to set the "User must change password at next logon" check box on the user's properties on the Windows machine. Once you set this, click on re-enable through the Password Vault Web Interface and allow the CPM to retry.
3.Check that the user that you're trying to change the password for has the ability to access the computer from the network:
Start | Run | secpol.msc | Enter
Local Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignment | Access this computer from the network.
Verify that the user is listed or is a member of one of the groups that are specified in the list.
Note: If the Security Policy can not be changed, then a Logon Account with permission to access the computer remotely can be associated to the password object as its logon account.
4.Make sure that "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" is set to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves:
Start | Run | secpol.msc | Enter
Local Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts

I have an application that is hosted in IIS.
When it is hosted on Machine One, the user name comes through as mynetbios\username.
When it is hosted on Machine Two, the user name comes through as username#mydomain.net.
The same code is running on both machines. Both are running IIS 10.0. Both have authentication set to enable Windows Authentication and disable all the others (including anonymous).
Is there something in IIS that could control how the username comes through?
Domain\User is the "old" logon format, called down-level logon name. Also known by the names SAMAccountName and pre-Windows 2000 logon name.
User#Domain.com is a UPN - User Principal Name. It's the "preferred", newer logon format. It's an Internet-style login name, that should map to the user email name.
There's not really much of a difference. For more information about "User Name Formats", you can refer to this link.
I am attempting to do an on prem deployment from AZ Devops to a local box. Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.508] Using Deployment Groups feature. I checked the box for use Personal Access Token as in the image yet it asks for a password. The user name and password I give it is some how unacceptable even though is an administrator. Is that different than
"NT Authority\System"
Which user name and pwd should I use?
Shouldn't it bypass prompt for usr/pwd and substitute PAT?
I have a PAT in my azure devops. Do I need to enter before running script?
Should I do an AZ-Logon First?
Then when i run in Admin Window prompt for user name and pwd come in to play. It wants some other user / pwd. I gave it an Admin usr pwd on box.
My Powershell is Version ------- 5.1.19041.1
I tried some more the Flow of the script has changed i wish I had the old script text for comparison. It seems different as it is now more descriptive:
Enter a valid value for User account to use for the service.
So I have tried putting
BM-SERVER\LocalSystem
BM-SERVER\Local System
BM-SERVER\markd
BM-SERVER\Local Service
BM-SERVER\LocalService
6.BM-SERVICE\Network Service
All but 3. respond : Enter a valid value for User account to use for the service
3. responds with: Invalid windows credentials entered. Try again or ctrl-c to quit
In this case I know it is valid account name and pwd
I can't reproduce the same issue on my side. Please check whether your password is right, case-sensitivity?
I use the my Admin account (lancel, which I use to login the Windows System) and corresponding password when entering User Account, and it works.
Also you can choose to Press Enter to use NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM instead of local account as Account for Service if the local account keeps throwing errors. It's also a widely recommended way, you can feel free to use default NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
I read the prompt carefully and when i let it use the default account there was no need to enter an account or password. It worked and my deployment task is done!
Short form just press Enter when prompted for an account
I'm in a bind with Azure login account. I've forgotten my password for my account that I use for a client's DevOps. It wasn't until I ended up created another account today to troubleshoot the problem that I might understand the issue, but still can't fix it.
About a year ago, my client added me as a Guest in their Active Directory. I did not have an active directory myself. I got the notice from Microsoft in an invite email to get started, which created an account to get access to their Azure Portal and DevOps. I've been logged in for a year, but was trying test a feature which required me to login to DevOps during the process. I tried what I thought was my password, but that didn't work. No problem, I'll just click on the reset password feature. That ended up informing me that "password reset isn't properly set up for your organization." Knowing who setup my account up, I ask them to reset my password. The response was we do not have control to reset your password because you're a guest.
Through several discussions, and seeing what was available to them, and how a Guest was set up, it was suggested to setup an account within Microsoft for the email. I did that, and when I went back to try and login to their portal, I was presented with two options after I entered my email address. There was a work account and a personal account. Both with the same email address. The work account indicated it was created by "your IT department". Which we did not create this, it was a result of the client adding us as a guest, then finishing the process to gain access. So I can only assume, either an active directory was created for my domain, or I was added to a generic active directory.
In either case, I still can't change the password for the work account, and researching has not helped, as it keeps resetting my personal account.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Here is what I'm currently seeing.
Thank you,
Marc
You don't have an AAD tenant. So I assume that your account is an Microsoft personal account.
Although you are added as the guest user in your client's tenant, the password management is not handled by that tenant. It is still handled by Microsoft personal account.
You can reset your password here: click on Sign In, enter your account and click on Forgot password?.
I have an account that is used on a server to run Scheduled Tasks. I have this account set up in a Cyber-Ark password vault. I have set-up Cyber-Ark to automatically update the Scheduled Task with an updated password whenever the account's password is changed.
Now, I also have manually set the DCOM config for "Microsoft Excel Application" to use the same username and have manually set the password.
I would like to have this also automatically update when the account's password is changed, but I am unsure how to do so. I have added "Microsoft Excel Application" with the server's name as the address in the COM+ Application tab for the account within Cyberark.
The error I receive is
The Central Policy Manager failed to change the password.
Error while trying to connect to ComPlus catalog on serverName.fmi.com with user app-adc-cyberark-rec in domain fmi.com. Native error message: The component or application containing the component has been disabled
I receive this same error when I change the name to something that definitely does not exist on the server (Micron Excel Application), so I believe I am leaving out a key piece of configuration rather than a setting on the server being the problem.
You need to link the account with the server name. Need to associate the task with the account which can change the password
At the moment I'm running Jenkins on my Mac Mini and everybody in my local network can access the web dashboard at the address http://<JenkisIP>:8080. How can I setup username and password credentials to limit the access to it?
You want to check the enable security feature in the configure menu, select "Jenkins's own user database" as the security realm and then alter the security matrix to suit your requirements.
For the first run, give everyone full access. Allow users to sign up, create your own account (if you don't have one) and then give full privileges to that account and remove all privileges to anonymous.
