Windows network configuration

If you are installing System Platform products on more than one node, we recommend that you use domain based networking. Domain based (client-server) networks provide better user account security and management than workgroup based (peer to peer) networks.

System Platform does not support mixed Windows workgroup/domain environments. While workgroups are supported, you cannot use workgroup nodes within a domain environment.

Note: Do not install the Galaxy Repository on a computer that is used as a domain controller or as an Active Directory server.

Operations that rely on inter-node communications may not function correctly in a workgroup based Application Server installation. Examples of this type operation include connecting to a remote IDE, or viewing the status of a remote platform.

If you must use workgroup based networking, you can avoid communications issues by enabling "everyone permissions" for anonymous users. To enable these permissions, open the Local Security Policy app and set network access permissions for anonymous users as follows:

Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Security Options > Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous.

Or, you can enter the following command from an administrator command prompt:

reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v EveryoneIncludesAnonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 1
