Service account naming recommendations

Post by davis_b »

Looking for some recommendations on service account naming any of you have implemented. I am working on decoupling our Veeam servers from our Active Directory so we are not dependent on AD for service anymore. We tend to standardize on service account naming and tieing it with the service funtion. What kind of naming convention has anyone used? For example, connecting to the managed servers, or a storage array or vShpere? Do you just use the same account or do you break those accounts up?

Thanks!

Hello Brent

Each and every company has their own naming concept for such accounts.
I suggest to also reach out to our community in the community hub:
