about_OpsMgr_RunAsAccount SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes how to create and associate a new Run As account. LONG DESCRIPTION A Run As account is a named set of credentials that is presented by a Run As profile for authentication when monitors, rules, or tasks are run. A Run As account may be used by one or more Run As profiles. You can get existing Run As accounts by using the Get-SCOMRunAsAccount cmdlet. To create a Run As account, use the Add-SCOMRunAsAccount cmdlet. You can manage the secure distribution of Run As accounts by using the Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution and Set-SCOMRunAsDistribution cmdlets. There are many types of Run As accounts, each of which uses a unique set of parameters to create. For examples of how to create each type of Run As account, type: "Get-Help Add-SCOMRunAsAccount -examples". EXAMPLES The following example script creates a Windows Run As account object, and sets it for approved secure distribution to all Agents and Management Servers. # Get credentials for the Run As account. The user name should be # entered in the format "domain\user". $Creds = Get-Credential # Create the Run As account object. $RunAsAccount = Add-SCOMRunAsAccount -Windows ` -Name "My New Run As Account" ` -RunAsCredential $creds # Creates an array consisting of all Agent and Management Server objects # present in the Management Group. $distribution = ( Get-SCOMAgent ) + ( Get-SCOMManagementServer ) # Approves the new account for secure distribution to all Agents # and Management Servers. Set-SCOMRunAsDistribution -RunAsAccount $runAsAccount ` -MoreSecure ` -SecureDistribution $distribution After you have created your Run As account, you must associate the Run As account with a Run As profile to use the account. The following commands get the Run As profile with which to associate the Run As account, the Run As account, and the class instance. Then, the last command uses the Set-SCOMRunAsProfile cmdlet to add the Run As account to the Run As profile. $Profile = Get-SCOMRunAsProfile -DisplayName "My Run As Profile" $Account = Get-SCOMRunAsAccount -Name "My New Run As Account" $Instance = Get-SCOMClassInstance -DisplayName "Contoso financial SQL Servers" Set-SCOMRunAsProfile -Action "Add" -Profile $Profile -Account $Account -Instance $Instance SEE ALSO Add-SCOMRunAsAccount Get-SCOMRunAsAccount Get-SCOMRunAsDistribution Set-SCOMRunAsDistribution Get-SCOMRunAsProfile Set-SCOMRunAsProfile |
