Issue/Introduction

We are upgrading from CA Automation Point r11.4 to r11.5, and were told that the account the MDB installer uses to authenticate with MS SQL Server and install the MDB as part of the CA Automation Point installation requires Sysadmin privileges for the SQL Server instance where it will install the MDB.

The MDB installer requires Sysadmin privilege because it uses the "Trusted Authentication".
