Insalling PI Server and getting this error: (Setup has detected the Windows Group "Backup Operators" does not have "SeBackupPriviledge" OR "SeRestorePriviledge" which are required for PI BackUP to function correctly)

See this KB article: https://customers.osisoft.com/s/knowledgearticle?knowledgeArticleUrl=000034745

I've hit this before and it usually is related to a group policy.

Thanks

Question, I checked the article and it seems my issue is related to this, but although my server is windows 2022 when I go to the policy the add group is greyed out and I cannot add the Backup Operators to it…dunno why it says is not compatible(although it is talking about windows 2000 or earlier versions)…is there any other way to add the group to the policy or even use a different user for the service so it can work propertly?

Can you run the group policy as an administrator? This is something that might be controlled by a group policy and you might have to get an IT Admin involved - unless you are the IT Admin!

It seems it has something to do with domain priviledges, but I do not have acces. Anyways IT supposedly changed the permissions at domain level but ity didn't worked anyways. My only option was to change the Backup Subsystem Service account to Local System, and with this change I was able to complete the installation and run the collective setup wizard.
