SQL Server Active Directory Helper Service

  • Can someone please explain what the SQL Server Active Directory Helper service is and when it would be necessary? After much Googling, this is the best description I've found:

    "This service supports Active Directory integration, including database instance registration. Disable if not required in your environment; otherwise run as a Windows local system account."

    Thanks,

  • The functions of this service remain unchanged: These are the functions described in the 2000 version of the product

  • The function is the same.  SQL server uses this service to publish the SQL server to Active Directory so users can search for it.  The service is set to manual. I would leave it alone but that's just me.

    Good day...
