NOTE: The Active Administrator Agent service can run under a domain user account provided it is a local administrative account, which gives it the rights to log on as a service, log on locally, and manage auditing and security log, or an account with these privileges granted individually. This account should also be a member of the AA_Admin group, which by default is located in the Local groups of the server where the ActiveAdministrator database is located. If the group is not found in this location, the settings during the initial database creation were modified and the group can be found under the Users container object of Active Directory®.

Automating audit agent deployment

Once you have installed an agent into a domain, Active Administrator® can monitor the domain for new domain controllers. When a new domain controller is discovered, the agent can be automatically installed on that domain controller. You also have the option to just notify users of a new domain controller so they can install the agent manually.
