Hi Adding to what Graham said, there is great blog from Kevin on this as well http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/09/08/configuring-run-as-accounts-and-profiles-in-r2-a-sql-management-pack-example.aspx ~Cheers, Rohit Kochher

I've been running SCOM without many RunAs Profiles configured to a specific RunAs Account. RunAs Profiles such as Notification Account, MPUpdate Action Account, SQL Server Discovery Account, WS-Management Action Account, and many others do not have any accounts specified (just blank). What account are they using by default? SCOM appears to be running fine.

Hi This gives a list of the out of the box run as profiles and which accounts are used: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb735423.aspx As you can see - not all will require Run As Accounts e.g. notifications only need a run as account if the SMTP server requires authentication in which case you can then specificy a suitable run as account/ Regards Graham Regards Graham New System Center 2012 Blog! - http://www.systemcentersolutions.co.uk View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/
