Apologies for any / all protocol fauxes pas on a forum I have never had
to frequent before.

Our team determined that we need to install the software specified in
the title on one of our machines.

I downloaded the install package and we expected a one-click
installation. Instead, in the Installation Guide we find a list as long
as your arm of pre-reqs and detailed step-by-step instructions on how to
proceed.

I easily got past the allocation of a static IP address.

Creation of a UserID was optional, so an existing administrator was used
as instructed and was able to skip over a load of requirements for the ID.

Then I was instructed to create a db2admin ID. This time, it explicitly
stated that:

This user must have administer rights *and* (my highlight) have the
following policies:

* Act as part of the operating system
* Create a token object
* Log on as a service
* Replace a process level token
