Im trying to install the universal forwarder in my windows server 2008 witht the remote windows data option but I keep getting the error:
Splunk Installer was unable to start Splunk Services.
Please make sure you have provided the correct username and/or password, and the user you are trying to run Splunk has the correct privileges. Exitcode='4'
And if I try to use the Splunk web and enter the Active Directory in the data inputs I get this error: Unable to open the selected path. Path doesnt exist or access is denied. and I was wondering if any of you knows why Im getting this errors.
Yes, it has admin privileges, thanks anyway. Already fixed it
The remote event logs collection was because my splunkD service was working as a local account, the issue corrected when I entered a domain account in the "Log on" option in the SplunkD service. The other issue I don't know how to fix it, I was doing the installation for remote windows data and should be local.
what was the issue then?
Is your user has admin privileges on the box where UF is installed? here is the link with required privileges:
