WorkGroup.Windows Quick Installation Sheets
1
(1) Logging on to Windows 2000 for the First Time
serial mouse, keyboard, monitor and external modem. Power the system on. Once the system has
completely booted up you’ll see the Windows logon window. The screen will say “Press Ctrl + Alt
+ Del to begin” press Ctrl + Alt + DEL at once to start the login process. You will be prompted to
enter your user name and password. Enter Administrator for your user name, and AMandA for
your password. Pressing enter or clicking ok will finish the login process.
(2) Understanding the Amanda Service
The
[email protected] / Windows system runs as a 32bit NT service in the backg
round of the
PC like the other services. The Amanda service is automatic and always starts when the PC finishes
its boot sequence. You don’t need to be logged into the system for Amanda to answer calls. If you
wish to monitor the Amanda system, you can launch the Monitor program which will show you the
system activity. You can start and stop the Amanda service using the component services option in
the control panel. To start and stop the Amanda service manually, from a command prompt type:
Net Start Amanda
This will start the Amanda service (unless it’s already running).
Net Stop Amanda
This command will stop the Amanda service (unless it has already been stopped).
Note: Keep in mind that Amanda normally runs as a service in the background, and that you won’t
see any system activity unless you run the Monitor client. Also, don’t start the Amanda application
unless you stop the Amanda service first. If you do run the application with the service running
you’ll receive an error. Typically the application is only run for troubleshooting purposes when the
service will not start. If you encounter problems starting the service, you’ll usually see some type of
Windows related error as to why it would not start. Launching the Amanda application will give
you an error more specific to Amanda which makes troubleshooting a whole lot easier.
(3) Running the Amanda Setup Utility
Whenever you install a new WorkGroup / Windows system, or make changes to an existing system
you’ll need to run the Setup utility by clicking start, programs, Amanda Server, Setup. This will
launch the Setup utility. You can also run setup through the icon on the desktop. The setup utility
can be used to modify global system settings, choose or modify the telephone switching system that
Amanda is connected too, modify your integration patterns etc. Whenever you make changes in
Setup, and you apply the changes, you MUST stop and start the Amanda service before these
changes take effect.
