Run As Account and Password Expiration

Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceRunAsAccounts.ExpirationCheck.Unit (UnitMonitor)

Checks for expiring Run As accounts and their passwords

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The account or password associated with the specified Run As account is expiring. If the account or password expires, the System Center Management Health Service will not be able to monitor or perform actions using this Run As account.

Below is a summary of the default configuration of this monitor:

Critical state: Transition to critical state if the specified Run As account (event 7014) or its password (event 7001) will expire in less than 3 days
Warning state: Transition to warning state if the specified Run As account (event 7014) or its password (event 7001) will expire soon (in 4 days or more)
Healthy state: Transition to healthy state if the System Center Management Health Service has successfully validated all Run As accounts (except the unauthorized ones) (event 7019 or 7020)

Causes

The critical (or warning) state can indicate the following may be happening on the agent:

The account associated with the specified Run As account is expiring. If the account expiration is not extended before expiry, the System Center Management Health Service will not be able to monitor or perform actions using this Run As account.
The password associated with the specified Run As account is expiring. If the password is not updated before the expiry date, the System Center Management Health Service will not be able to monitor or perform actions using this Run As account.

Resolutions

Extend the account (update the account password) in Active Directory (for domain accounts) or on the local computer (for local accounts).
