Db2 administration server (Windows)

You might need to change the user ID under which the DAS service runs on Windows.

Important: The Db2 Administration Server (DAS) has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release. The DAS is not supported in Db2 pureScale® environments. Use software programs that use the Secure Shell protocol for remote administration. For more information, see Db2 administration server (DAS) has been deprecated .

After creating the DAS, you can set or change the logon account using the db2admin command as follows:

db2admin setid username password

where username and password are the username and password of an account that has local Administrator authority. Before running this command, you must log on to a computer using an account or user ID that has local Administrator authority.

Note:

Recall that passwords are case-sensitive. A mixture of upper and lowercase is allowed which means that the case of the password becomes very important.
On Windows, you should not use the Services utility in the Control Panel to change the logon account for the DAS since some of the required access rights will not be set for the logon account. Always use the db2admin command to set or change the logon account for the Db2 administration server (DAS).
