Quick Fixes

If you’re encountering service problems that relate to credential errors, here’s a quick way to deal with them. Open “Services” on your computer. You can type “Services” in the search bar.

Start running the service. Highlight the equivalent of “Dbwatch Control Center”. This was defined earlier in your installation process.

Right-click and click “Start.

If this error above appears, the credentials you inputted were incorrect. To fix this, right-click on the highlighted services again and select properties. A window of properties will show up. Select the tab “Log On” then select Log on as Local System account. This only works if CC is installed locally.

Click “Apply” and re-run the services. You should be able to start your dbWatch services without a problem.

Once it is installed, the next step is Initial domain setup
