Use a dedicated Domain service account if you want to authenticate against any member server in the domain else use a dedicated local account but you will need the following:

1) Grant the account logon as a service right.
2) Give the service permission to read and modify sql server files.
3) Alter the registry to access several registry keys.
4) Give the account permission to modify .mdf .ndf and .ldf files


Else the easier way is to grant this account local administrator rights to this server.

I asked what Server roles I must give to this account. Of course it is dedicated domain service account. But I don't want to give to this account sysadmin rights.
