Issue:

You would like to know what steps need to be carried out if an account other than the sa is needed for the AUTODESKVAULT SQL instance

Solution:

1) Follow these instructions:-
Install Microsoft SQL Server Prior to Installing Autodesk Vault Server
After the SQL instance is installed, rename the sa account or manually clone it in SQL Server Management Studio.
The default sa account can be found under the AUTODESKVAULT SQL instance Security > Logins

Renaming the sa account

To rename the account, right click and select "Rename"

Cloning the sa account.
To clone the account, under Security > Logins, create a new account and ensure that the properties for the account are the same as the sa account.

2) Install Vault Server and use the new account credentials during the installation options.

Be advised that installing Vault Server using an account other that the default sa account will result in having to define the account credentials in many ADMS Console actions.
