ServiceAccount
[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]
The ServiceAccount object represents the user account for the AD RMS service account. You can retrieve this object by calling the CurrentServiceAccount property on the ServiceIdentity object.
When you provision AD RMS on a server, you must define a service account and specify the account credentials. If the SQL server is shared by more than one AD RMS installation, the service account must be a domain account, but not the same domain account that you used to install AD RMS. The service account is made a member of the RMS Service Group, and is granted the permissions of that group.
Methods
The ServiceAccount object defines the following method.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| ToString | Retrieves the localized account name. |
Properties
The ServiceAccount object has the following properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Specifies or retrieves the service account type. |
| UserDomainAccount | Retrieves an object that contains the account credentials. |
