As part of our nightly back up routine our company runs several win batch scripts. One of the scripts (stopFM)is set to open the server admin console and take down filemaker services, back up the databases, then bring the server back up.

With the new remote admin client the script is asked to authenticate (no authentication was needed before). The machine running the script is a member of the fmsadmin group in our active directory.

Is there a way to bypass the authentication? Shouldn't AD take care of that?

Any help would be appreciated

"... take down filemaker services, back up the databases..."

Why? Nothing but FM Server should be touching the production database files. Nothing.

Set up FM Server to create a backup copy of the hosted files. Configure your backup process to work with these backups. Leave FM Server running and the production files hosted.

Pay attention to what Vaughan said.
