This is because we removed the Users group from the Allow log on locally policy in the computer’s Locally Security Policy as part of our standard server build. On my system, the service failed to start and gave an error after the installation completed.

Once you login, you should see the Dashboard and from there, its time to start exploring SSMC. It would be the same account you used to login to the 3PAR Inform Management Console (IMC) - the old client. To login to the SSMC, you will use either a local account on the 3PAR arrays or using an LDAP account if your 3PAR arrays are configured and connected to LDAP. Uncheck the box for Administrator Console and you will get the normal SSMC login page. Once the arrays are connected, you may logout of the Administrator console and you will go back to the login page. Once the arrays are added, the SSMC begins the process of connecting the arrays to manage them. To connect your 3PARs, you use the Actions button to add the arrays. Once you login, you are presented with a Storage Systems view with no systems connected. The next step is to login to the Administrator console and connect the SSMC to your 3PAR arrays. You click Set Credential button and save a password for the administrator account. On the SSMC server, you may browse to (if you chose the default TCP port during installation) and you will be presented a message saying that the Administrator credential is not set. If you have altered the Local Security Policy on your Windows system and removed the Users group from the Allow log on locally, you will get an error. Once you finish the installation, the installer tries to start the service.
