[All CIS-Discovery Questions]

When installing a MID Server on a Windows platform, which right must be associated when creating a Service Account?

ALocal Admin

BDomain Admin

CMID Server User Role

DLog on as service

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The Service Account for the MID Server must have the Log on as service right on the Windows platform. This right allows the MID Server to run as a Windows service and communicate with the ServiceNow instance. The Service Account does not need to have local or domain admin rights, as these are not required for the MID Server functionality. The MID Server User Role is a role on the ServiceNow instance, not on the Windows platform, and it is used to control the access and permissions of the MID Server on the instance.

Local Admin is good, but D is specifically for service accounts.

But what about A) Local Admin? Isn’t that also important?

Agreed! Without that, the MID Server won't function properly.

I think it’s D) Log on as service. Seems essential.

Nah, "Log on as service" is the key one here.

"MID Server User Role" is essential too, right?

Definitely need "Log on as service" for the MID Server.

I’m uncertain, but I feel like "Domain Admin" is overkill for a MID Server. It should be something more specific like "Log on as service."

I’m leaning towards "MID Server User Role," but I recall that it might not be the only requirement. There could be more permissions needed.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think "Local Admin" was mentioned as a potential option, but it feels too broad for just a MID Server.

I think the right might be "Log on as service," but I'm not completely sure. It seems like a common requirement for service accounts.

I feel like "MID Server User Role" could be relevant, but I can't recall if it's specifically necessary for the installation process.
