Hi,
I am looking for an alternate solution wherein I don't have to provide domain administrator rights to a service account which is used to perform vulnerability scan on domain controllers over the network
any suggestions/inputs would be appreciated!

Hello @WinTechie ,
Thank you for posting here.
Would you please tell us what vulnerability scan tool or vulnerability scan application we are using?
Is it a tool or application from Microsoft or not?
We can try to use normal domain user to scan to see if it helps?
If it is a third-part tool or application, we can consult the corresponding engineers which right to use for vulnerability scan on domain controllers.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou

Hi, I have the same question, I have Tenable scanner, If I put the SA in any other OU than Domain Admins, the scan is failed.

Hi,
By default , a standard domain user has the read permission.
You don't need to use domain admin account to perform a scan on domain controller.
