I am installing SQL Server 2008 on my development machine and during the install I am asked to assign accounts to the different services. What account should I use for the services where no user has been assigned if this is a simple development machine?
- Can I use the account I am logged in with (I am the only user on this machine)?
- Should I use the NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM account?
- Can I user either or of the above or is there a downside to one or the other or should I use something totally different?
