The Sentinel system uses several accounts for installation and system operation.These accounts exist
in the Sentinel database and might use SQL Server authentication or Windows authentication. To

corresponding Windows Domain user must exist before installing the Sentinel Database.
The domain user should have Power User privileges to start the Sentinel services. See
"Providing Power User Privileges to Domain Users," on page 33
