Choose Appropriate Execution Scenario

The Add-on runs on any computer in your environment. For example, you can run the add-on on the computer where Auditor is installed or on a remote server. Depending on the execution scenario you choose, you have to define a different set of parameters. See the Amazon Web Services topic for additional information.

Netwrix suggests the following execution scenarios:

Scenario	Example
The add-on runs on the Auditor Server with the current user credentials.	C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1
The add-on runs on the Auditor Server with the explicitly specified user credentials.	C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorUserName enterprise\NAuser -NetwrixAuditorPassword NetwrixIsCool
The add-on runs on a remote computer. Data is written to a remote Auditor repository with the current user credentials.	C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorHost 172.28.6.15
The add-on runs on a remote computer. Data is written to a remote Auditor repository with the explicitly specified user credentials and monitoring plan name.	C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorHost 172.28.6.15 -NetwrixAuditorUserName enterprise\NAuser -NetwrixAuditorPassword NetwrixIsCool -NetwrixAuditorPlan Integrations

For security reasons, Netwrix recommends running the script with current user credentials (skipping user credentials). Create a special user account with permissions to both Auditor data and event log and use it for running the script.
