Hi

While installing SQL Server 2008, it asks for Service account and account name:

Here, what are the meanings of options: "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM", "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" etc..?
Are these registry keys or something like that. Where can i find information about this stuff?
I don't even know which subject they are related and where i must start to search about these.

Ihanks...

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE are local accounts and if you use them for sql server services you won't be able to give access to this services to network resources
