A service account runs software. Since a service runs in the background, it will still run when a user logs out of the computer. In a lot of cases a service account will run using the system account. However, this can be security concern if malware was able to attach itself to the service. For this reason, a service account can be created which will limit the damage that can be performed if the service was to have malware attached to it.

[@itfreetraining]

Yes there are more videos to come. The next section will be on Group Policy.

[@itfreetraining]

Thanks very much and thanks for watching.

[@thomaja]

I'm confused about what why a service account is necessary. Is it to run a program only on server it was installed on? Are other users able to access this program? Why is it required? Is it necessary so that OTHERS can use the software? I know this is a lot and all over the place, but I'm a little lost on this.

[@ibteshamahmed8085]

are you using two servers here or one?

[@SchoolMindsDaily]

question : what happened if we install application as a administrator user and then assign service account to run service application?

[@thomaja]

So the only reason to do this is to protect the network from malware? There's no benefit to the end user, just for security? I'm just trying to make sure I have an understanding of the purpose of this. Thanks for answering!

[@MrBrn888]

Hi, thx so much for the efforts... I just wanna know if there's more videos coming after "2.19 Delegation of Control"? It's cover all subjects on 70-640?

[@zoltron30]

nice!!! I had to do this when I was setting up the BES

[@itfreetraining]

+zoltron30 I'm sorry you had to unfortunately go through with setting up a BES. They are not always friendly. Thanks for the comment however, and thanks for watching!

[@zoltron30]

+itfreetraining it was a pain but learned a lot

[@itfreetraining]

Excellent! It definitely is a setup that will teach you quite a bit about the intricacies of Exchange and AD.

[@AbreTuMente]

Thank you so much!!

[@itfreetraining]

Thanks for watching.

[@Battle_deffender]

Hi, How to run report on active directory account groups to get password change date and user accounts. Do you have any video ?

[@itfreetraining]

+Zameeruddin Syed You will need 3rd party tools to query AD for these reports. Google "Active Directory Reporting" and the first one I believe is free from Spiceworks.

[@CosminRusu154]

Can a user account can be user for an automatic login in a windows 10 PC?

[@itfreetraining]

Yes, you can configure Windows 10 to automatically login.

[@rushdhimohamed3482]

[@itfreetraining]

+Karlis Laivins Thanks!

[@charithareddy33]

Thank you

[@itfreetraining]

You're welcome

[@etertre]

i like this vedio...

[@Drizztt617]

This is just a regular user account.

[@itfreetraining]

A service account is a regular user account created using minimum rights for security reasons. Care needs to be taken to ensure password changes are managed so software does not stop working.

[@olivername]

This does not work add it account does not sign it

[@chuanyang2755]

I don't think this is the correct way to manage the service account. We should use ManagedService account to help us with the actual service and application running. If you are doing in this way, you won't be able to manage if there are 1000 servers running an application with this service account with password which needs to be changed. Please correct me if i'm wrong. For more information about the service account I mentioned, please refers to: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff641731(v=ws.10).aspx

[@itfreetraining]

Have a look at the manage service account video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJqXm2OFaNiohM0 When possible I would use managed service accounts, however not all applications support them.

[@mauricetorres1479]

A lot of data breaches start with attacks on privileged service accounts. An important step in proactively locking the security of your corporate network is to find all Exchange service accounts. Execute WMI Query in ROOT\CIMV2 Namespace: - Launch WMI Explorer or any other tool which can run WMI queries. - Run WMI query: SELECT * FROM Win32_Service Full guide read here www.action1.com/kb/finding_all_exchange_service_accounts_used_on_endpoints.html

[@MamunMamun-bl8np]

niuce

[@itfreetraining]

Thanks!

[@jaronandnat]

Please be careful when following the instructions of this video. This is a way to create service accounts no doubt. But someone adding the service accounts as a local admin goes completely against the principal of least privilege, which is why im here in the first place. To re-make all SQL server service accounts that do not have administrator access on servers that domain administrators also have machine access. This would be a huge security risk if an attacker ever made it into your LAN. Those who have had or done security audits will know to NEVER have any servers where domain admins AND non domain admins are both local administrators.

[@SimZoneStudios]

NEVER NEVER NEVER create service accounts this way. Use group managed service accounts!

[@itfreetraining]

Group Managed Service Accounts required Windows Server 2012 domain functional level. When this videos there were many companies that were not using this function level. However, noadays this is not such a concern. So I would use Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSAs) nowadays.

[@staj]

Thanks again for making it simple.
