I have installed UF on windows server but i need to know the following:</P> <P>Is the installation per session? <BR /> What happens if the user who made the installation is removed?<BR /> Will it be necessary to have a dedicated user?</P> <P>Thank for your help</P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 20:20:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/UF-User-Windows/m-p/439405#M76618 julian0125 2019-08-12T20:20:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/UF-User-Windows/m-p/439406#M76619 <P>The forwarder is not installed under a user's account. It's available to all users and should remain so if the installing user is removed.</P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 21:02:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/UF-User-Windows/m-p/439406#M76619 richgalloway 2019-08-12T21:02:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/UF-User-Windows/m-p/439407#M76620 <P>This is a tricky decision and Splunk has docs for it:<BR /> <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/ChoosetheuserSplunkshouldrunas">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/ChoosetheuserSplunkshouldrunas</A></P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 23:21:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/UF-User-Windows/m-p/439407#M76620 woodcock 2019-08-12T23:21:00Z
