Hi all;

I'm in the process of a reinstall for SQL server 2005,
and I have to choose between a built-in system account
and a domain user account. This instance of the server
is going to be used on a single system - a laptop that
is going to be used for software demonstration purposes.

Which one should I go with?

THANKS!!!

For a laptop/demo purposes, I just use the builtin account. My local installation on my laptop is using local system account, but I do use domain accounts with local admin privileges on all of my other servers (dev, test, prod, perf, stage environments).

It just depends if that machine will need to connect to any remote resources.
