Scheduling and service accounts

Lesson 129 of 201 · 12 min

Schedule the script on the server. Configure it to run under a SERVICE ACCOUNT, not a personal one. Show the service account's role assignment and where it sits in Module 6's group model, show scheduling around the daily maintenance window, show monitoring the schedule, and show what happens when maintenance overlaps a scheduled run. SERVICE ACCOUNTS, NOT PERSONAL ACCOUNTS. This is the Module 6 offboarding problem, prevented. A leaver's account running the nightly load is a failure waiting for a resignation. The service account needs governing like any other identity: owned by a named person, credentials rotated, included in access reviews, excluded from the SSO federation if that is how authentication works. Schedule around the maintenance window, which you set in Module 13. Overlapping produces a failure that looks alarming and is not.
