When installing the Administration Service, you are prompted for the name and password of the Administration Service account—the account the Administration Service logs on to. This account must have sufficient permissions to:
-
Gain administrative access to the computer running the Administration Service.
-
Publish the Administration Service in Active Directory.
-
Access any managed domain for which an override account is not specified.
NOTE: When registering a domain with Active Roles, you can specify an override account. If you specify an override account, the Administration Service uses the override account rather than the service account to access the domain.
