How can I get a PowerShell monitor to run using Orion service account?

rushcoil

Hello! I have a PowerShell monitor that runs a script that works on the remote machine and on the local Orion server.

When we run the script from SAM PowerShell monitor, we always get different results, and we found it is because it is using the domain\computername$ account. We aren't using the computer account for anything we know of related to SolarWinds. We run everything with a domain service account.

Do you know how we can get the PowerShell monitor script to run with a service account

We tried running the script using the "Run the script under specified account" and we have the monitor set up to use the correct "Credential for Monitoring" which is the Orion service account we use.

But it still seem to make a difference whether we check that or not.

Any ideas on what we can try? Thanks for the help!

If you've set the account correctly on the template, when you apply the template to a node make sure you either change the radio button to 'inherit credentials from template' or select the service account from the drop-down. I tend to manually select from the dropdown rather than allowing it to pull from the template.
