Provide credentials with the Manage As command

As you add remote servers to Server Manager, some of the servers that you add might require different user account credentials to access or manage them. To specify credentials for a managed server that are different from those you use to log on to the computer on which you are running Server Manager, use the Manage As command after you add a server to Server Manager, which is accessible by right-clicking the entry for a managed server in the Servers tile of a role or group home page. Clicking Manage As opens the Windows Security dialog box, in which you can provide a user name that has access rights on the managed server, in one of the following formats.

  • User name

  • User name@example.domain.com

  • DomainUser name

The Windows Security dialog box that is opened by the Manage As command cannot accept smart card credentials; providing smart card credentials through Server Manager is not supported. Credentials that you provide for a managed server by using the Manage As command are cached, and persist as long as you are managing the server by using the same computer on which you are currently running Server Manager, or as long as you do not overwrite them by specifying blank or different credentials for the same server. If you export your Server Manager settings to other computers, or configure your domain profile to be roaming to allow Server Manager settings to be used on other computers, Manage As credentials for servers in your server pool are not stored in the roaming profile. Server Manager users must add them on each computer from which they want to manage.

After you add servers to manage by following procedures in this topic, but before you use the Manage As command to specify alternate credentials that might be required to manage a server that you have added, the following manageability status errors can be displayed for the server:

  • Kerberos target resolution error

  • Kerberos authentication error

  • Online - Access denied
