SetActionAccount

  • Article

SetActionAccount.exe is a MOM command-line utility for viewing and changing the Windows account designated as the MOM action account.

The initial configuration of the account occurs during the installation of the MOM Management Server. The SetActionAccount tool is used to modify the action account for an existing MOM deployment.

Several MOM processes run under the action account, including the processes that host MOM response scripts and managed code responses. The main purpose of the action account is to control the permissions and security for these processes, and the scripts and assemblies that they execute.

Note Note   

You must run the tool on a MOM Management Server computer.
