Can 1 Cloud Extender have multiple service accounts?

Question & Answer


Question

The customer wanted to setup Cloud Extender with a different service account for each module.

Cause

The customer was a bank and did not want to give too many rights to the same service account.

Answer

No this is not possible, there is only 1 Cloud Extender service running  on the Cloud Extender, and there is only 1 service account for each Windows service.
As a workaround they might want to setup multiple Cloud Extenders (on multiple virtual servers).
