Hi there,
I'd like to change my vCenter Server Service from using the Local System account to an AD account. Having read a few articles, I'm a little confused...
Currently my vCenter database is on a remote SQL server and I'm using SQL authentication. Changing the services to use an AD account is easy enough and I understand I need to make the AD account a local administrator of the vCenter Server, plus grant the account 'Act as part of the operating system' and 'Log on as a service' permissions. My confusion comes to the SQL interaction...
Do I need to change my ODBC DSN to use the same AD account and therefore grant permissions at the SQL end, or can I simply leave my existing SQL authentication in place?
Thanks in advance.
