Author Install SQL 2000 Enterprise on a member server

Guys,

I want to install sql server which would allow all Enterprise Admin to
log onto the server without distrupting services. So do I choose the
option run as local (local system account) service like any other type
of software that you normally would install? Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Tony

The SQL Server service account does not affect which accounts can log in.
The service account specifies the security context used by SQL Server when
accessing external resources like files and shares. As long as you don't
need to access file shares from the SQL Server service (e.g. backup/restore
from network UNC), the local system account may work fine. However, the
Best Practice is to use a minimally privileged account. Personally, I
always use a domain account.

See the Books Online for more information.

Hope this helps.
