Manage the DRS service on the server

Use the Device Configuration Manager to configure, start, restart, and stop the Device Registration Service.

Use this procedure to configure settings for the Device.
  1. On the host machine for the Device Registration Service server, click Start > All Programs > Kofax > Device Registration Service > Device Configuration Manager.
  2. Click Yes when prompted whether you want to allow changes to the computer.
    This opens Device Registration System Configuration dialog box.
  3. Configure settings for the Device Registration Service properties on the Service, Security, and Administration tabs.
In the Windows Services console, you can start, stop, pause or resume a service. However, you need to use the DRS Configuration Manager to configure the Database Connections and Service Settings options, the Security options, and Administration logging options for the Device Registration Service, as these settings are not accessible through the Windows Services console.

Authenticate with Azure AD for the DRS web client

  1. On the Service tab of the Device Registration System Configuration dialog box, for Access Group, select Azure AD Authentication.
    This option ensures that only users with the ControlSuite.Admin application role in Azure AD can open and access the DRS.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Click Apply, then start the DRS service again.

Authenticate with Azure SQL Server for a remote database

  1. On the Service tab of the Device Registration System Configuration dialog box, stop the DRS service.
  2. Clear the Enable local DB check box, then click Properties next to DRS Connection.
  3. In the Log on to the server section, select Use Azure AD Authentication and enter the Azure AD admin name and password.
  4. In the Connect to database section, click Verify to update the existing database schema, if a database is already being used.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Apply, then start the DRS service again.

Verify permissions for a remote SQL database

If you are using a remote SQL database instead of a local database, you must verify your SQL permissions:
  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio.
  2. Go to Security > Login.
  3. Right-click on your DRS account and click Properties.
    The Login Properties - <DRS_account> window opens.
  4. Click Select a page and click User Mapping.
  5. In the Users mapped to this login, in the Database column, select the check box next to DRS.
  6. In the Database role membership for:<Database's Name> section, verify that the check box for db_owner is selected.
  7. Exit SQL Server Management Studio and return to DRS.
