Essentials and EssentialsAdmin User accounts

We accidently removed both the Essentials and EssentialsAdmin User accounts from the server. Short of reinstalling Geocortex Essentials software from scratch, can I simply re-create those user accounts myself? If so, what would the password be?

  Hi Mike,

  There is no way to recover the password for an account that has been removed. That's okay though. There are two ways to fix this:

  Recrete the users

  1. Recreate the users with passwords of your choosing
  2. Open IIS Manager
  3. Find the existing EssentialsAppPool4 and EssentialsAdministrationAppPool4 application pools
  4. Open the "Advanced Settings"
  5. Click on the "Identity" setting
  6. Select "Custom account" and supply the username and password
  7. Re-run the Essentials Post Installer

   

  Use the Applcation Pool Identity

  1. Open IIS Manager
  2. Find the existing EssentialsAppPool4 and EssentialsAdministrationAppPool4 application pools
  3. Open the "Advanced Settings"
  4. Click on the "Identity" setting
  5. Select the "Built-in account" called "ApplicationPoolIdentity"
  6. Re-run the Essentials Post Installer

  What is the advatange of using local or custom accounts vs. accepting the "Built-in account" called "ApplicationPoolIdentity"?
