Use a service account to configure the Pass-trough Authentication Agent

Hi all,

At the moment we are using 1 Azure AD Connect server with Pass-trough Authentication configured.

One of our former employees installed a second server for Pass-trough Authentication high availability.

I'm reading his documentation: He installed the Pass-trough Authentication Agent with his own credentials and connected with his own Azure Admin account the agent to Azure AD.

Is this best practice? Don't you need to use a service account?

Will there anything go wrong when we delete the account of the former employee?

Please, let me know!

    Hi @Leo Johnson ,

    The How to Connect PTA Quick Start guide says to configure it with the global tenant admin credentials, and that is always how I have done it as well.

    Where do you see guidelines recommending a service account? To which step are you referring?
