I need a service account that is not local, but an AD account, to be installed on each Windows Server 2008 and 2012 that gets provisioned. The idea is that I need third party products like backup tools to be able to use this service account. It needs to not only reside in AD but have local administrator privileges. How can I insure that such an account gets provisioned and is usable every time a VM is cloned from my template? I am using customization specifications only. Is putting this account in my template enough or are there issues with that?
