Preparing to configure the Vault Service account

Before you complete the procedures in this chapter:

  • Choose an account other than the Vault Service account under which to complete the procedures in the chapter. For example, you could use the SQL System Administrator (sa) account, or another privileged user that is assigned to the sysadmin fixed server role.

  • Ensure that your Enterprise Vault backups are up to date. See "Backing up Enterprise Vault" in theAdministrator's Guide.

  • Stop all Enterprise Vault services.
