In the Run as box, type an account with domain administrator rights, or browse to locate an account, and enter the password.
* 
NOTE: The Active Administrator Agent service can also run under a domain user account provided it is either a local administrator account, which gives it the rights to log on as a service and log on locally, or these two privileges can be granted individually. This user or service 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 initially database creation were modified and it can be found under the Users container object of Active Directory®.

NOTE: By default, the audit agent is activated upon installation. To change the default setting, select Configuration | Agent Installation Settings.
