Installing and Configuring DB2 Clients

Creating a Username for Installing DB2 Products

Windows 95

The username must be a valid DB2 username.

A valid DB2 username is eight characters or less, and complies with DB2's naming rules. For more information on DB2's naming rules, see Appendix C. "Naming Rules".

Windows NT

You need to have a username that will be used to install DB2. The username must belong to the Administrators group, and also be a valid DB2 username or have the "Act as part of the operating system" advanced user right.

A valid DB2 username is eight characters or less, and complies with DB2's naming rules. For more information on DB2's naming rules, see Appendix C. "Naming Rules".

If this username does not comply with DB2's naming rules, but has the "Act as part of the operating system" advanced user right, the setup program will create the username DB2ADMIN to perform the installation.

This username will be removed from the system when the installation is complete.
