In addition to the above Active Directory Accounts, I also create two additional ones
da-opsmgr which is a Domain User and Domain Admin
sa-opsmgr which is a Domain User and member of the OpsMgr Administrators Security Group (thereby getting local admin access to the SCOM server).
Unless otherwise mentioned login to your SCOM server from now on as the sa-opsmgr user.
