Size of active directory database showing empty size

I am trying to run the a report 'Size of Active Directory Database'. However, the report comes back empty showing no size (MB). I figured out that it requires NTFS discovery to run and find C:\windows\NTDS folder in order to capture the size. My question is What permission do I need to give the service account to read the size of the NTDS database ? Keeping in mind we do not want to give Domain Admin access to this service account

    Hi Peter,

    The AD discovery is running fine but the size of the NTDS folder is nowhere to be reported, the report shows empty which means there is a problem somewhere, I was being instructed by Quest to get the folder size etc by running the NTFS discovery but the discovery is failing because of Access Denied, I want to the exact permission required to get the required data in the discovery.
