Hi aj1973

 

Everything is updating fine on the refresh schedule? and the gateway shows as online?

I have maybe a dozen reports updating twice daily and they all refresh ok?

 

I have read the link, but it doesnt suggest there is any issue with using the default service account on the gateway?

 

I am tempted not to mess as it is currently working, based on the earlier assurance that i cant accidentally damage our database through power BI

 

Thanks again.
