Cannot impersonate user for data source ‘CDRDB’. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser)

skype-for-businessWhen deploying the Skype for Business Archiving and Monitoring role, it asks for a user account and password. Many clients don’t have a service account for this (or simply don;t understand they need a service account for this) and just put in the username and password of the Administrator or the person doing the install. Then, months later, they change the password on that account and can’t figure out why the Monitoring Server reports throws the error:An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
