Run As Profiles
Applies To: Exchange Server, Operations Manager 2007 R2
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Pack has the following Run As profiles:
| Run As profile name | Runs workflows that require |
|---|---|
Exchange 2007 Local System Account |
Local System privileges on the Exchange 2007 servers. This profile is used by all the Exchange synthetic transactions. The Run As account would require Local System Windows Account privileges on the computer. |
Exchange 2007 View Only Local User Account |
Exchange View Only Administrator rights. Most of the discovery scripts in the management pack use this profile. The Run As account is required to be a member of the Exchange View-Only Administrators group and be the equivalent of the least-permissions account on the local computer. |
To populate the Run As profiles, first create the appropriate accounts with the required rights and then populate the profiles. For step-by-step instructions about associating a Run As account with a Run As profile, see the How to Change the Run As Account Associated with a Run As Profile in Operations Manager 2007 topic in Operations Manager 2007 Help (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=128539).
Note
The Exchange 2007 Local System Account Run As profile must be populated if you are not using Local System as the default Agent Action Account.
The following management pack tasks cannot be run using a low-privilege account:
- All tasks related to starting or stopping services running on the Exchange 2007 servers require that agents run as Local System or that the Exchange 2007 Local System Account Run As profile is populated.
Synthetic transactions require that agents run as Local System or that the Exchange 2007 Local System Account Run As profile is populated.
