Hello there,
For discovery it's easy to have a kind of discovery account that is local admin on the servers you want to monitor.
you can do without, if you use snmp as the discovery protocol for servers you only need to set these snmp settings. If you want to set these credentials and or trusts, you'll need credentials to set these (you need a key to get in your systems).
You could look under configure > repair to set the snmp and trusts. If you run a repair under a account that has local admin rights the repair should work and no credentials get stored. If you set sign-in credentials, these credentials will get stored for system polling and identification and running scripts on your servers.
If you are going to use wbem(Windows) you need either an account with admin rights or an account that has dcom rights and access to the wmi tree. The last option is the savest but a lot more work. You'll probably have to set a domain policy to set these right. If you want to do this I can also help you. But it's a lot more work.
You can use the buildin certificate to set a trust for servers, ilo's or enclosures.
If you need more hinst just let me know.
Kind regards,
Andrew
