Using gMSA account for the FNMS service sccount

[K_Ritter]

Has anyone had any experience with using a gMSA account as the service account for FNMS?

Currently FNMS doesn't support group managed service accounts. There is an enhancement open for this functionality (issue number IOJ-1922401).

Thanks

@craig_moore - that particular enhancement has not been done at this point. It remains under consideration for addressing in a future release.

I put the enhancement request in last year for gmsas.
Last time I looked at it there were too many places in the config where passwords were required to be entered.
As they weren't officially supported, I stopped doing any further investigate.
I suspect that after installing and configuring with a normal user account, you might be able to manually convert over to a gsma, but I've never tried.

Here is an Idea that is tracking an enhancement related to this discussion: ITAMFNMS-I-10: Microsoft GMSA (Group Managed Service Accounts) for FNMS/FlexeraONE ITAM

Please vote for that idea if it is of interest/relevance to you.
