Ive been using the domain admin account to install, but would like ot set up a PDQuser to push deployments.

What standards AD groups does this user need to be added to to allow for PDQ Deploy and Inventory to work best.

Does it have to be a Domain Admin? I just want to give the user whats needed.

The user has to have priviledges on the target machine to install software, and query information about the computer using the registry, wmi etc.

A service account that's been added to the Administrators group of your target machines would be my recommendation, and definitely not using an account that has the full authority of a Domain Admin.
