Q6500035: During installation, ActiveXperts Network Monitor Setup asks for Administrator credentials for its service. Is this required?

If you want to monitor member servers or domain controllers in your Active Directory domain, it's strongly recommended to enter Domain Administrator credentials.

For many tasks (like disk space checking, event log monitoring, and so on), Local Administrator rights are required on the monitored computers. By default, Domain/Enterprise Administrators are Local Administrators on domain member servers. If you do not enter a Domain- or Enterprise Administrator account during installation, you must configure an Administrator account for each check that requires it in the ActiveXperts Network Monitor software.
