Question re: V9 Update 2 Service Account

[emjaydee]

Going through the Release notes for V9 Update 2 you have "Ensure that Veeam service account has the db_owner role on the Veeam configuration database... Additionally, either give Veeam service account the sysadmin role on the SQL Server hosting the configuration database, or just the right to view system table content (GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO "DOMAIN\ACCOUNT").
Does the Veeam service account have these roles/rights by default if I perform a clean install of v9 or if I upgrade v8 to v9?

Not if you are using remote SQL Server.

Okay, all the upgrades I'm looking to do have local SQL installs. Thank you!!

If those are local SQL Express which are automatically deployed as a part of default Veeam setup, and they were not "secured" by someone later, then you don't have to worry about SQL permissions aspect.
