| It's been a while since I've done an installation...What are the pros and cons in using the default system username versus specifying a domain/username/password at installation time? |

SERVICE ACCOUNT (defines which accounts to log in.)- Use the built-in System account- Use a domain user accountThat's what the dialog box offers. Must be the windows account that the SQL service runs under. When would I not want to use the built-in system account? |
