Database account
You must set up a database account.
The database account should:
- Be able to log onto the computer where you are going to install the Sophos Management Server (a component of Sophos Enterprise Console).
- Be able to read and write to the system temporary directory, for example \windows\temp\. By default members of Users have this right.
- Have a UPN (User Principal Name) associated with the account if it is a domain account.
All other rights and group memberships that it needs are granted automatically during installation.
Sophos recommends that the account:
- Is not set to expire and does not have any other logon restriction.
- Is not an administrative account.
- Is not changed after installation.
- Is named SophosManagement.
