    The Configuration Wizard establishes default account and group names, which you can modify.

    If you are upgrading from a previous version of File Reporter, the Proxy Account and Proxy Rights Group fields will specify the existing proxy account and proxy rights group.

    NOTE:If you choose, these user and group objects can be moved in Active Directory after installation without affecting the product.
