Desktop Authority Setup Tool

Hi,
I am trying to backup desktop authority database according this article:
support.quest.com/.../SOLSL4472
But I cant find "Desktop Authority Setup Tool" anywhere.
I cant find it in start menu, I checked it in "Program files" and found this:
"C:\Program Files\ScriptLogic\Desktop Authority Manager\Desktop Authority Setup Tool\DASetupTool.exe"
I tried to open it but it only starts process in background for a couple of seconds and ends.
Please help to figure out.

  • Hi,

    Try running it as administrator.
    You could also try checking the event viewer for errors while opening the tool.
    Check antivirus exceptions and add C:\Program Files\ScriptLogic\Desktop Authority Manager\Desktop Authority Setup Tool\DASetupTool.exe

    I hope this helps.

    Regards.

  • Hi,
