VAA_SERVICEACCOUNT | user | Yes | Specifies an account under which the Veeam Orchestrator Server Service will run. For more information on the required account permissions, see Planning and Preparation. Along with this parameter, you must define the VAA_SERVICEPASSWORD parameter. Example: VAA_SERVICEACCOUNT="srv\Administrator" |
VAA_SERVICEPASSWORD | password | Yes | [Applies only if you have defined the VAA_SERVICEACCOUNT parameter] Specifies a password for the account under which the Veeam Orchestrator Server Service will run. Example: VAA_SERVICEPASSWORD="1234" |

VAA_SQL_AUTHENTICATION | 0/1 | No | Specifies if you want to use the SQL Server authentication mode to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server where the Orchestrator configuration database is deployed. To use the SQL Server authentication mode, set the parameter value to 1. If you do not define this parameter, Orchestrator will connect to the Microsoft SQL Server in the Microsoft Windows authentication mode (default value, 0). Along with this parameter, you must define the following parameters: VAA_SQL_USER and VAA_SQL_PASSWORD. Example: VAA_SQL_AUTHENTICATION="1" |
