Configuring a Windows 2000
Domain Controller as a Scan
Repository
Purpose
This document describes the procedures to set up a Windows 2000 Domain Controller as
a scan repository. If your scan repository is a Windows 2000/XP workstation, Windows
2000 member, or stand-alone server, see the Customer Tip, Configuring a Scan
Repository on a Windows 2000 Member Server or 2000/XP Workstation.
Certain elements have changed in the way users are required to set up the server to
receive scan jobs from Xerox multifunction devices compared to previous versions of
Windows operating systems.
The following topics are discussed in this tip:
• Setting up Internet Information Server (IIS) for FTP services
• Creating a Xerox device scan user
• Granting the Xerox device scan user the proper rights to log on locally to the Domain
Controller
NOTE: The setup of scanning templates (using CentreWare Network Scanning Services
or CentreWare Internet Services) is not within the scope of this document. For help to set
up scanning templates, see your CentreWare Network Scanning Services
documentation.
Prerequisites
The instructions in this document assume the following:
• You understand how to navigate in the Windows 2000 environment and have an
understanding of Windows 2000 Active Directory Services.
• You have an Internet Information Server (IIS) installed on the Windows 2000 Domain
Controller (it is installed on Windows 2000 Servers, Advanced Servers, and Data
Center Servers by default).

Setting up Internet Information Server (IIS) for FTP
Services
1. Select [Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Internet Services Manager].
2. Expand Computer Name.
3. Right click on Default FTP Site, and select [Properties].
4. Select the Security Accounts tab. If you wish, uncheck Allow Anonymous
Connections, as it is not necessary when scanning from the Xerox device. Ensure
Allow only anonymous connections is not selected. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: FTP Properties Security Accounts Tab

NOTE: You can set up a virtual directory instead of using the default home directory for
your scan repository location. A virtual directory resides outside the home directory and
appears to ftp browsers as a subdirectory of the home directory. For more information
regarding setting up CentreWare Scanning Services in a virtual directory, see the
CentreWare Network Scanning Services Guide.
Adding a Xerox Device Scan User
To set up scanning, you must create a user to log the Xerox device on to the scan
repository. The following steps explain how this is done using the Windows 2000 Active
Directory.
1. Select [Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Active Directory Users and
Computers].
2. Expand Computer Name.
3. In the Active Directory Users and Computers console, right-click Users and select
[New, User].
4. In the New Object – User window, fill in the necessary information and select [Next].
See Figure 3.

password at next logon. Check User cannot change password and Password
never expires. Keep Account is disabled unchecked. Select [Next]. See Figure 4.

6. Ensure that all user account information you have entered is correct. Select [Finish].
Granting Scan User Rights
Use the following procedure to grant the scan user the right to log on locally to the
domain controller.
1. Select [Start, Run]. In the Open box, type mmc and select [OK]. This opens a blank
Microsoft Management Console window.
2. Select [Console, Add/Remove Snap-in].
3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in window, select [Add].
4. Under Available Standalone Snap-ins, highlight Group Policy and then select
[Add].
5. Select [Browse]. Under Domains, OUs and linked Group Policy Objects,
double-click the folder of your domain controller. See Figure 5.

8. On the right side of the console window, find Log on Locally and double-click it.
Select [Add] and then [Browse]. In the list, find the scan user you created in the
previous section, highlight it, select [Add], and [OK]. Select [OK] two more times to
complete the process. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Security Policy Setting Window
NOTE: You should not remove any users or groups that already appear in the
Security Policy Setting window Log on Locally list. If you do, other users may not
be able to log on to the Domain Controller to perform their usual functions.
9. Close the MMC window. You do not have to save the MMC console settings for the
security policy changes to save.
You are now ready to install CentreWare Network Scanning Services or use CentreWare
Internet Services to set up the Xerox device for scanning and to create scan templates.
