Configure the scsm Service

After the proper account has been created and given appropriate permissions on the domain, the Agent service must be configured to start and run under this account. This gives the scsm service the privileges of the specified account, allowing it to remotely access Windows Event Logs and collect them.

1. In the Services panel of your machine, right-click the scsm service and select Properties.
2. Click the Logon tab.
3. Select the Logon option This account.
4. Type the user account information.
5. Click OK.
