D. SERVICE ACCOUNT INFORMATION
At the Service Account Information screen you will enter the Windows account under which the SQL
Sentry Monitoring Service will run. This account must have SysAdmin privileges on each watched
SQL Server. The account must also have Windows Administrator privileges on any computer with a
watched Windows Task Scheduler connection, or to collect system level performance metrics with SQL
Sentry Performance Advisor.
Note: It is not necessary for this account to be a Domain administrator account. Instead, it is
recommended that the service account be a standard user Domain account that has been added
to the local Administrators group of each monitored target. For more information please see the
Performance Advisor Security Requirements topic.
