Master Target Agent Account

  • Hi guys,

    Very new to this, so please bare with me if I dont ask correctly.

    Basically, Id like to setup a Master Target relationship with One master running a Backup job against multiple Targets.

    Each Target has a different SQL Agent domain account. Domain\%Machinename_SV

    My questions is, to setup the Master Target relationship and have one "Master" backup job going to all target, do I need to change the Agent Service account on all targets to one which matches the master? Or is there another way?

    Sorry if it doesnt make sense, new and learning 🙂

    Thankyou

  • No one?

    Did I word it wrong?

  • During the setup you will have an option (tick box) = Create new login if necessary and assign it rights to the MSX. Tick that, if that is against your policies then untick it and then click next and a message will popup stating :

    "You must ensure that the SQL Server Agent startup accounts have rights to the master server."

    Fulfil the above quote and you should be ok.
