System Center Advisor leverages the System Center Operations Manager agent and management pack technology as the foundation for the Advisor agent on-premise software. Advisor builds upon management packs for workloads to provide value-add services. For workloads, such as SharePoint, that require workload-specific privileges to run management packs in a different security context, such as a domain account, you need to provide credential information either by configuring a System Center Operations Manager Run As account or through the management interface, a PowerShell cmdlet script, that is shipped with Advisor v1.1 and later.
Use the following steps to set the account if you are connecting to Advisor by using Operations Manager.
-
Open the Operations console, and then click Administration.
-
Click Profiles, under Run As Configuration, and open the properties of System Center Advisor SharePoint Run As Account.
-
Go to the Run As Accounts page, and then click Add.
-
Select a Windows Run As account that contains the credential needed for SharePoint, or click New to create a new one.
Note The Run As account type must be Windows. -
Click Save.
Use the following steps to set the account if your agents are connecting to Advisor by using the Advisor gateway.
-
On the gateway, open a PowerShell window.
-
Run the following cmdlet to add the Advisor PowerShell snap-in (if you have not already added it):
-
Run the following. When prompted, provide the credential for the action.
-
Run the Set-SCAdvisorActionAccount cmdlet to set the credentials. For example, if the agent computer name is <Com1>, run the following:
Tip You can use run Get-SCAdvisorActionAccount -validateCredential to view the action accounts you just set. -
Restart the agent on the computer you specified in the previous step, and then wait until the agent finishes the discovery.
