FIGURE 2-3 The Specify The Instance Of SQL Server page
NOTE Using a meaningful name is benecial and easier to remember, especially when
you plan on implementing more than one UCP within your SQL Server infrastructure.
For example, to easily distinguish between multiple UCPs you might name the UCP that
manages the production servers “Production Utility” and the UCP for Test Servers “Test
Utility.” When connected to the UCP, users will be able to distinguish between the dif-
ferent control points in Utility Explorer.
7. On the Utility Collection Set Account page, there are two options available for identi-
fying the account that will run the utility collection set. The rst option is a Windows
domain account, and the second option is the SQL Server Agent service account. Note
that the SQL Server Agent service account can only be used if the SQL Server Agent
service account is leveraging a Windows domain account. For security purposes, it is
recommended that you use a Windows domain account with low privileges. Indicate
that the Windows domain account will be used as the SQL Server Agent proxy account
for the utility collection set, and then click Next to continue.
