*As part of the agent installation, two local groups will be created on the server, “Double-Take Admin
and Double-Take Monitors”. By default the user account used to perform the agent installation will be
added to the Double-Take Admin group. An additional local user account will need to be created on
every protected server, this account needs to be manually created before the agent installation. The
new account should be named “DTuser”, the password should be set to never expire, and not required
to be change at initial login. The password should be set to the same for every server to be protected.
This account will need to be manually added to the Double-Take Admin and Monitors groups. This
account information, username and password, will be needed by the target server to setup replication.
The account needs to be created at the OS level before proceeding **
