Pass-through authentication question

Pass-through authentication question

Hi all,

In the help page about pass-through authentication http://help.opmanager.com/passthrough, mention is made of creating a computer account and resetting a password for an existing computer account to use in the pass-through settings.  Does this computer account have to be the machine Opmanager is installed on or can it be a random computer account and password created just for the pass-through authentication?  I tried resetting the password of a live server using the VB script provided which entailed having to use Netdom to reset it back again as it lost its trust settings due to incorrect password.

Thanks

Justin
