Hello ​@immi563 
Here is our kb for ssms

https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0017273

You may want to verify the account is able to login to your database. 


You can also try opening a cmd.exe window as the functional account and manually running ps_automate command to see how it launches.

With a command like this
"C:\Program Files\BeyondTrust\pbpsmon\ps_automate.exe" ini=C:\apps\ps_automate\ssms\ssms_databaseSQLv22.ini ServerName=u3sql.btsupport.int DatabaseName=RetinaCSDatabase username=sa password=P@ssw0rd

 

If using a domain account you will need to use Domain\username for the username. In your ps_automate parameters it would look like  “username=Domain\%u”, or you could add “domain\%Username%” in your ini file.

John
