The Microsoft SCOM Agent Action Account must be a local system account.
Medium Severity
The SCOM agent action account is the account agent used to perform tasks on an individual machine. By default, the action agent account is the local system account, but this can be configured to run as a service account. In that scenario, the account will be running locally in memory and could be used by an attacker to laterally move throughout an environment. Using the local system account limits the ability to laterally traverse within the environment if a specific endpoint is compromised.
