Missing SMSadmin account.. Fresh install

[Drekko]

Hi guys

I have installed SCCM 2012 R2 with 1511 upgrade in a home lab enviroment to learn this and to eventually become a pro with it.. lol

 

I have completed installing everything and upgrading it to 1511 with MDT update 2 and Windows 10 ADK.

Looking at some cbt nuggets videos after this, I noticed I do not have an SMSadmin account at all in AD

I am able to open the config manager console thought through a domain administrator account i created myself to use

Added this account to be a member of domain admins, enterprise admins, schema admins, and local administrator groups

 

Did I miss something?

 

Remember this is a fresh install and all I have done is installed the pre-reqs and upgraded config manager to 1511

 

This is what my logins look like in SQL Server Managment studio (attached), and the Pat\pat account is the domain admin account i mentioned above

Should I just add the "pat" account to sysadmin?

I assume they've created that account to perform the installation with. The installation only creates the local group of SMS Admins.

Well my installs didnt even do that

I created SMSadmin, SMSread and the SMSadmin group myself in AD

 

Do I need those in SQL or can I start using config manager with my domain account?

take a look at this guide which covers creation of user accounts including installation of ConfigMgr 1511.
