Hello.

When I installed cms 7.1 i used a admin account that i probibaly shouldnt have. Is it possible to change the account that I installed everything with to a different one

Would this break the product?

Also which groups will the new account need to be a member of?

Is it more than local administrators and domain admin.

Thanks.

hi, ive been trying this url fix in my lab but each time fails.

How to change the Application Identity in NS7

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO10009

Is this the only way to do it?

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. Please can you let me know how to do it via the console.

Thanks in advance.

METHOD 3:  If you can load the console:

Create a service account in Active Directory and get the AD SID.

Click on Settings >All Settings>Notification Server> Notification Server Setting > Processing and change to the desired credentials to the NS service account created above and click OK. 

Update the [SecurityTrustee] table in the Symantec_CMDB database.

---------------------

i get an error when i try to use my new service account saying This account does not have sufficient credentials to access the database

Im not sure where to give this account permission.

also i have looked through the database and I cant seem to find in the database where i edit the [securityTrustee] table

 SID for SKYNET\altiris:
S-1-5-21-1533168978-3400402331-3331771166-1113

I think im getting closer but not there yet.

Thanks. I actually was looking at a way to do this for an environment that I didn't build but needed to change in order to fall in line with our standards.
