Account privilege for Zabbix Windows Agent

[iwidjaya]

Hi,

Is it possible to use non-local account for Zabbix Agent windows, i.e: domain service account ?
If so, what are the minimum privileges should be given to the account so that it can perform the monitoring properly ?

I'm not sure of an answer to your specific question, iwidjaya, but I'm trying to do this on a Windows 2016 server so that the Zabbix Agent process can run powershell scripts as a user with appropriate access to run the cmdlets contained within the scripts.

This, it seems, is not easy - and to get working requires me to do something which Microsoft recommends not be done.

It'd be wonderful if the agent on Windows supported its Linux counterpart's 'user' param - or something similar - or if the installer allowed the user to set the service account details at install time.
