So, I've just recently moved my NCM and NPM database from an underpowered standalone SQL 2000 server to a SQL 2005 server running in our corporate SQL cluster. On advice of support, I am trying to get NCM and NMP using a single user ID with rights to both databases, so our import process will work as expected. I have a user that has DDLAdmin rights to both the NetPerfMon and ConfigMgmt DBs, but when I try to reconfigure NCM to use this user ID I get the following error in ConfigurationWizard.log:

Is there some reason that the SQL user has to have DB_Owner rights to the database? Our SQL DBA is not to thrilled with giving a service account login that level of access to the database.
