Mohammed,
Got another one for which you might have an educated guess: I've been trying to setup a new user account to use instead of caroot on the primary server for the EB domain, and keep getting " failed ... reason : No permission for this operation" for everything except validating the caroot password.
I can't find anything on the CA site, or their Open Forums even closely related, so if you can't give me a shove in the right direction, I will be left with reinstalling to try to correct the problem. With 4 SP's now, I don't relish the task.

Mohammed,
With which account are you logged into the server? I've had challenges with setting up a new user account when I tried to do it while not logged in as an administrator to the server, and if the caroot password wasn't accepted by BS.
Check for the authsetup.exe in the EB directory and use that to make sure you have a known password for caroot. After that use $caauth -user validate caroot <password> to test it.
As a follow up to make sure you have your server in the BS Domain (psuedo domain for organizing BS servers in case you skipped that section in the user guide) use $ca_conf to display the BS domain settings, and you can change them there.
After that all checks out as you wanted it, you should be able to validate the user account in question. I managed to unscramble my BS settings that way for 6 different standalone installs. Tedious but at least you don't have to reboot all the time to change things.

databasebaba,
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
Fortunately, the company, in its infinite wisdom decided to not go for totally centralized backup management. I managed to get it to where I have all the servers using one database server now and will worry about using one admin account later.
