The Microsoft Key Distribution Service kdssvc. This service was introduced in Windows Server , and it does not run on previous versions of the Windows Server operating system.
The Key Distribution Service shares a secret, which is used to create keys for the account. These keys are periodically changed. For a group managed service account, the domain controller computes the password on the key that is provided by the Key Distribution Services, in addition to other attributes of the group managed service account.
Group managed service accounts provide a single identity solution for services running on a server farm, or on systems that use Network Load Balancing. By providing a group managed service account solution, services can be configured for the group managed service account principal, and the password management is handled by the operating system.
By using a group managed service account, services or service administrators do not need to manage password synchronization between service instances. The group managed service account supports hosts that are kept offline for an extended time period and the management of member hosts for all instances of a service.
This means that you can deploy a server farm that supports a single identity to which existing client computers can authenticate without knowing the instance of the service to which they are connecting. Failover clusters do not support group managed service account s.
However, services that run on top of the Cluster service can use a group managed service account or a standalone managed service account if they are a Windows service, an App pool, a scheduled task, or if they natively support group managed service account or standalone managed service accounts.
Group managed service accounts can only be configured and administered on computers running at least Windows Server , but they can be deployed as a single service identity solution in domains that still have domain controllers running operating systems earlier than Windows Server There are no domain or forest functional level requirements.
Always run SQL Server services by using the lowest possible user rights. Use separate accounts for different SQL Server services. Don't grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups. Permissions are granted through group membership or granted directly to a service SID, where a service SID is supported. In addition to having user accounts, every service has three possible startup states that users can control:. The startup state is selected during setup.
When installing a named instance, the SQL Server Browser service should be set to start automatically. The following table shows the SQL Server services that can be configured during installation. For unattended installations, you can use the switches in a configuration file or at a command prompt. Connections from other computers may not be possible until the Database Engine is configured to listen on a TCP port, and the appropriate port is opened for connections in the Windows firewall.
The per-service SID is derived from the service name and is unique to that service. Service isolation enables access to specific objects without the need to run a high-privilege account or weaken the security protection of the object. If the account used to start the Analysis Services service is changed, SQL Server Configuration Manager must change some Windows permissions such as the right to log on as a service , but the permissions assigned to the local Windows group is still available without any updating, because the per-service SID hasn't changed.
This method allows the Analysis Services service to be renamed during upgrades. Depending on the service configuration, the service account for a service or service SID is added as a member of the service group during install or upgrade.
The account assigned to start a service needs the Start, stop and pause permission for the service. SQL Server service accounts must have access to resources. Access control lists are set for the per-service SID or the local Windows group. For failover cluster installations, resources on shared disks must be set to an ACL for a local account. When database files are stored in a user-defined location, you must grant the per-service SID access to that location.
Some access control permissions might have to be granted to built-in accounts or other SQL Server service accounts. The default drive for locations for installation is system drive , normally drive C. This section describes additional considerations when tempdb or user databases are installed to unusual locations. When installed to a local drive that isn't the default drive, the per-service SID must have access to the file location.
SQL Server Setup provisions the required access. When databases are installed to a network share, the service account must have access to the file location of the user and tempdb databases. SQL Server Setup can't provision access to a network share. The user must provision access to a tempdb location for the service account before running setup. The user must provision access to the user database location before creating the database.
Virtual accounts can't be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts use the permission of machine account. The following table shows the permissions that are required for SQL Server services to provide additional functionality. As wonderful and convenient as MSAs are and they are, trust me , we need to always keep in mind the IT security principle of least privilege.
In other words, we must be careful not to assign permissions, either explicitly or implicitly, to the MSA account that are beyond the required access scope of that account.
We use Windows PowerShell 2. From an elevated command prompt, type powershell to enter the Windows PowerShell environment. Next, type import-module activedirectory to load the Active Directory PowerShell cmdlet library. We use the new-adserviceaccount cmdlet to define a new MSA. For instance, the following statement creates an MSA named testmsa and enables the account for use:.
To verify that the MSA has been created and is "ready for action," so to speak, run the get-adserviceaccount cmdlet. Sample output from this cmdlet is shown in Figure This is shown in Figure Once they are defined, we can associate MSAs with applications and services by using any of the traditional methods with which you are familiar.
This procedure is shown in Figure Remember, we are delegating account password management to Windows. Once you apply the change, you will see a Services message box informing you that the designated MSA has been granted the Log On as a Service user right. This message box is shown in Figure If you are like me, then you find that the Managed Service Account capability of Windows Server R2 is an administrative godsend.
