Managing Windows service and scheduled task credentials using PIM

Question & Answer


Question

In this video series, you learn how to manage Windows Service and Task IDs remotely using App ID feature IBM Privileged Identity Manager. The videos demonstrate how to register a service management agent on a designated host and then onboard services, scheduled tasks, and managed credentials. You also learn how to automate the service management agent to reconfigure the managed services with the new password, every time PIM updates the credential password. This course includes the following videos:

  1. Course Introduction: Managing credentials of Windows services and scheduled tasks
  2. Discovering available services and scheduled tasks
  3. Registering a Service management agent
  4. Onboarding managed credentials
  5. Onboarding a Windows service
  6. Onboarding a Windows scheduled task
  7. Automating managed service agent operation

Each service in Windows runs in the security context of a user account also called a service account. With managed application services in PIM, you can rotate passwords for the user accounts used by services or scheduled tasks that are distributed across Windows hosts.
