Exchange and SQL backup plans asking for credentials?
Since the new agent update our Exchange and SQL backup plans started asking for special credentials. This is not the case with every account, only with some of them.
Also, when i enter the domain admin with sysadmin credentials it says "access denied" wich seems to be an error on the Acronis side. Because a domain admin has access to Exchange and SQL databases.
This question for special credentials has only popped up since the last agent update. Is this a bug in the agent? or am i doing something wrong?

The domain admin is a member of the sysadmin role in this case, we have checked this.
After uninstalling the new agent and installing the previous version of the agent ( we still had the install package ), the problem has gone away.
The Acronis Managed Machine Service on the machine is running under the same credentials ( Domain admin with all the necessary rights )

Hi CS,
I see, all indicates that there is an issue with the new agent. Thank you for checking all the prerequisites.
Please submit a support ticket with the AcronisInfo from the old (if possible) and new build of the agent on the same machine. Also please collect procmon log on the machine when you get the credentials prompt. That requires a closer look by the RnD team.
Thank you,

Hello Dmitry,
I will create a suppor ticket for this issue.
Though it looks like its a bug with the agent, because we are getting this error with several customers.
Do you have an ETA on the new build of the agent? because there are now serveral confirmed bugs with this agent and workarounds are only getting me so far..

Hi CS,
No, we don't have an ETA for new agents, but we are expecting them shortly. I'll update this thread once they are released.
Thank you

Hello Dmitry,
Thank you for your answer.
I understand you dont have an exact ETA, but "Shortly" will this be a couple of weeks from now? or months?

Hi CS,
Shortly stands here for several days, not weeks or months.
Thank you,
