Wgnimpsv.exe and Continuous Importing

By default, wgnimpsv.exe logs on as LocalSystem. Depending on the type of import operation, you may need to change this to a user account with administrative rights to access the source location.

• Importing from a shared network folder

  Wgnimpsv.exe must log on using an account that has permission to change (write to) the source folder.

• Importing from Microsoft Exchange mailboxes

  Wgnimpsv.exe must log on using an account that has permission to access the source mailboxes.

Important! If you change the logon account for wgnimpsv.exe from LocalSystem to a named user account, this account must be a member of the local Administrators group. This ensures that the import service has access to the registry and, if CA Data Protection is installed to its default location in the Program Files folder, that it can write progress messages to logfiles.
