Here you will find a simple guideline for calculating the number of accounts required for an SMS 2003 installation.
Note: The accounts that the SMS 2003 installation process creates depends on what security mode you have selected. If you selected standard security more accounts are created than you would have if you selected advanced security. Therefore some of the accounts below may or may not exist.
SMS Client Network Connection Account
The rule here is that you should have 1 account multiplied by the number of sites in your domain. For example if you have two SMS sites you would calculate it as 1 x 2 = 2.
SMS Server Network Connection Account
Here you should have 1 account multiplied by the number of SMS sites that you have. If you have three SMS sites you would calculate it as 1 x 3 = 3
SMS Remote Service Account
You should have 2 accounts multiplied by the number of client access points (CAP’s) per site. This means that if you have five CAPS you would calculate it as 2 x 5 = 10
SMSCliToknAcct& Account
For this account you should have 1 account multiplied by the number of domains that you have. So the calculation for 2 domains would be 1 x 2 = 2
SMS&_DC_Name Account
Here the rule is that you should have 1 account multiplied by the number of Domain controllers (DC’s) in the domain. So the calculation for two DC’s would be 1 x 2 – 2
