This section describes the conditions for connecting to a remote computer.
You can connect to a remote computer if it is established that your user name and password match those of an account with any of the following:
Local Administrator rights of the remote server
Domain Administrator rights of the domain of the remote server and you have logged on from that domain or a trusted domain
Domain Administrator rights of a trusted domain to the remote server's domain and you have logged on from that domain or the remote server's domain
When you initiate the command to connect to a remote computer, Storage Foundation checks to see whether you have already met one of the three conditions above when you logged on initially to the local client computer. If you have, then you are connected directly to the remote computer without being asked to supply a user name and password.
You are not connected automatically if you have logged onto the local computer with an account that does not have administrator privileges on the remote machine you want to connect to. However, with the Connect command in the VEA GUI, you are always given the opportunity to enter a user name and password. Click the More button in the Connection dialog box to expand the dialog box and display the Authentication section. If you then enter a user name and password for an administrator account on the remote machine, you are connected to the remote computer.
