Install-DbaInstance and Set-DbaPrivilege: Which account should be used to grant SeManageVolumePrivilege?

[andreasjordan]

Summarize Functionality

This is based on our findings that we documented here: https://blog.ordix.de/instant-file-initialization-microsoft-sql-server-set-up-check

TL;DR: setup.exe uses "NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER", the Configuration Manager uses "LABDOM\SQLServerGMSA$".

We currently use "LABDOM\SQLServerGMSA$" with Set-DbaPrivilege. And we use Set-DbaPrivilege in Install-DbaInstance.

First of all I would like to change Install-DbaInstance to use the setup.exe parameter SQLSVCINSTANTFILEINIT when installing version 2016 or later. That would allign the behavior to the setup.exe GUI.

But I would also question the use of the StartName property inside of Set-DbaPrivilege. Does anyone have a contact to the SQL Server development team to get their opinion?

Is there a command that is similiar or close to what you are looking for?

No
