Run As Accounts in SCOM!!!!

As accounts define which credentials will be used for certain actions that are carried out by the Operations Manager agent. These accounts are centrally managed through the Operations console and assigned to different Run As profiles. If a Run As profile is not assigned to a particular action, it will be carried out under the Default Action account. In a low-privilege environment, the default account may not have the required permissions for a particular action, and a Run As profile can be used to provide this authority. Management packs may install Run As profiles and Run As accounts to support required actions. If this is the case, their documentation should be referenced for any required configuration. The following table lists the default Run As accounts that are created by Operations Manager during setup. The following table lists the Run As profiles that are created by Operations Manager during setup. Note that if the Run As account is left blank for the particular profile, the Default Action account (either the Management Server Action account or the Agent Action account, depending on the location of the action) will be used.
