Historic F5 Account

That is correct, it can be any SQL server. It defaults to the SCOM db server because it knows there is a SQL server there, but it is not required in any way.

 

 

Originally we said that the service user had to be a domain admin, but this is not entirely accurate. The user account actually requires full SQL access to the F5 database (you can manually adjust that later to really lock it down). It is required to be a part of the Ops Manager Admin group, and it also needs to be a local admin on the box because of access issues. And lastly, the user account needs to have general domain access so that it can be validated by operations manager and SQL.

 

 

Thank you for pointing out that the information is not in the docs, I will update those to include the information above.

 

 

Thank you,
