Autogenerated Active Directory objects

This article describes what are the Active Directory (AD) accounts and groups that SQL Server creates during a big data cluster deployment.

Note

Starting with SQL Big Data Clusters CU13, the passwords of autogenerated Active Directory objects can be easily rotated. For more information, see Autogenerated AD objects password rotation.

Important

The Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters add-on will be retired. Support for SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters will end on February 28, 2025. All existing users of SQL Server 2019 with Software Assurance will be fully supported on the platform and the software will continue to be maintained through SQL Server cumulative updates until that time. For more information, see the announcement blog post and Big data options on the Microsoft SQL Server platform.

Accounts & groups

The user accounts and groups are generated in the provided organizational unit (OU) during cluster deployment.

Each of the accounts represents a service in Big Data Clusters. The accounts own the Service Principal Names (SPNs) required by each service.

The deployment automatically generates account and group names. Beginning with SQL Server 2019 CU5, the account or group name prefix is the deployment namespace name (big data cluster name). If the cluster name is bdc for the items on this article, replace <prefix> with bdc to identify your accounts.

The pod suffix (-x) denotes a variable pod ID below. The names below don't include a variable prefix that is user provided during deployment.

The classic account name applies to deployments using versions before SQL Server 2019 CU5 and deployments done with "useSubdomain" option set to false in security configuration.
