Configure the CEE Service

Make sure that CEE is installed on a Windows machine in the domain, and that the log on user for the CEE services is an administrative user in the domain.

Supported Versions

Use the latest version of CEE.

Remote CEE

For enterprises with an existing central CEE infrastructure, where the Activity Monitor will be installed on a different server than the CEE service:

  1. On every CEE server, make the following changes in the registry:

    [HKLM\Software\EMC\CEE\CEPP\Audit\Configuration]
    Endpoint=whitebox@<File Access Manager Activity Monitor server ip address>
    Enabled=1

    If multiple monitor servers exist, the list should look like: whitebox@ip, whitebox@ip, ...

  2. Restart the EMC CEE service.

Local CEE (no central infrastructure)

When installing the CEE service and the Activity Monitor service on the same server:

  1. Install CEE Pack on the monitor server.

    The CEE service must be installed on a server in the same domain as the NAS server CEE server, otherwise the communication between the NAS server and the CEE service will fail.

  2. Make the following changes in the registry:

    [HKLM\Software\EMC\CEE\CEPP\Audit\Configuration]
    Endpoint=whitebox
    Enabled=1
  3. Set the logon user for the services to a user according to the “Permissions” section.
  4. Restart EMC CEE service.
