Hi,
We already allow DataMiner installation under a different local account than the built-in Administrator, in case that account has local admin rights assigned.
Do we also support his in case of a domain account with local admin rights?
If so, how easy/difficult would it be to migrate an existing DataMiner installation from 'local user with admin rights' to 'domain user with admin rights'?
I have a similar use case in one cluster, Ruben.
I've achieved the 1st part by adding a domain "admin" account: this works fine to get access to the system and so on, however I have not been able to test what happens in DataMiner when the old built-in account that was used to build the DMA is disabled.
This is a requirement that is becoming more and more common, similar to getting the root user disabled in a UNIX-like system.
Where this is specified from day 1, installing with a domain account is confirmed above by Michael.
I guess the next step is to test the outcome on a staging system when the following steps are actioned:

Needless to say, I'm following this thread as this might save me from having to test in my environment too - upvoting your question!
Which OS/DMS versions do you use?
