I am new to the SolarWinds environment and I have been tasked with installing an additional polling engine to our environment. Our current NPM version is 11.0.1 and we use a SQL Standard 2008R2 db. The access to the db is highly restricted so the configuration wizard is failing because of limited db access. I have found a few posts that suggest granting the SW db account full rights, run through the config wizard, then back the permissions down to db_owner for that db and run the wizard again. I am guessing that is what was done during the install of the main polling server since I am using that db account now. Is this correct? Will the additional polling server be able to do what it needs to do once the permissions are backed down? I understand this will need to be done for each upgrade as well, correct?
Thank you for responses.
