I've implemented AlwaysON backup with Ola's script, those are running fine on designated server configured for backup. I would like to automatically check backups using sql-scripts fired from a monitoring system using a dedicated account just for this. This account has no permissions except public und view server state. If this account selects the following:

select sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica ('TestDB) AS IsPreferredBackupReplicaNow

It gets 0 as an incorrect answer. Firing the same query using sysadmin permissions give 1 as correct answer.

Anyone knows why this is like that and what permissions are needed to get a correct result? MSDN has no word about permissions.

Thanks in advance
