Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Starting the NetWorker User program on Windows

There are two ways to start the NetWorker User program.

  • Click the Windows Start button and select Programs > Dell NetWorker > NetWorker User.
  • From the Administration window, click Start on the main menu, and select NetWorker User... If the NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications (NMM) is installed on the client computer, this operation starts NMM instead.

    The NetWorker client package must be installed on the host where you start the NetWorker User program. Otherwise, you see an error message similar to the following:

The user program you are trying to run (winworkr) is either not installed on this computer, or is not in your path.

To start the NetWorker User program, you must belong to the appropriate Windows groups. The following table lists the groups that you must belong to in order to run the NetWorker User program.

The Backup Operators and Administrators groups are the local and remote Microsoft security groups.
