SOLVED Setting up Accounts and Groups

[David Mold]

I am installing SCCM 2012R2 for the first time and we are interested in knowing what user accounts would need to be crated in AD for installing SCCM 2012R2 from scratch. I've looked over your documentation and didn't see anything pertaining to user account setup. I did see that you had created a "sccmadmin" account but other than the administratior account where else would this account need to be located? how about for the SQL install and all the other service accounts. Are their any groups needed?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi David, in my lab setup I have used a single account called "sccmadmin" which is a member of domain admins, schema admins and enterprise admins groups. However this is not recommended if you are deploying SCCM in an organization, if you want to know accounts required for Installing, configuring & managing CM 2012 you could check this link - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh427337.aspx
