   The Select Users, Computers, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box opens.

5. In the Enter the object name to select area, type OITServiceAccount.

   

6. Click OK.

   The IRS_IUSRS Properties dialog box opens and OITServiceAccount appears in the Members list.

   

7. Click OK.

8. If you plan to deploy more than one ObserveIT Application Server, or if you plan to install the ObserveIT Web Console on a separate machine, repeat on all the computers that will host the ObserveIT Application and Web Console applications.
