System Administration Tool

There are four steps to installing and configuring the System Administration tool so that you can run it without having to log in to Windows as an administrator:

  • Install the CCS Enterprise IYSS Admin Client
  • Update the careers.cfg file
  • Create a new Windows System Administrator user
  • Create a System Administration tool login

You must already have an IYSSADMIN user set up in One IYSS for this process to work. For more information on configuring a new user within IYSS itself, see the Managing User Accounts chapter in the One IYSS System Administration handbook.
