Data Access Service Spn Registration

Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007.SdkSpnRegistration (Rule)

Rule to alert if a SPN for the account running the Data Access service isn't registered

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

In order for the OpsMgr Console or any other SDK clients to authenticate using Kerberos, the Data Access service needs to register SPNs for itself.

Causes

If the Data Access service is not running as "Local System" it does not have the right permissions to register SPNs with Active Directory.

Resolutions

You can use SetSPN.exe to register the SPNs for the Data Access service. Here are the commands that you need to execute using an account which has domain administrator rights:

Note: If the RMS is clustered, you should use the virtual server name.
