Domain Controller And SQL Server

  • We inherited a system with our production SQL Server 7.0 running on an NT machine which is also our PDC. For this reason, the service accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent need to be members of the Domain\Administrators group.  Does this hold true if the server were running on a BDC instead of a PDC?

  • They do not need to be administrators. It makes things easier, but you can set permissions to  use any local or domain account.

  • take care that you might face some problem if you make SQL Server and SQL Server Agebt work on Local account  ...

    it is recommended to set it to a Domain account (and must be from the adminstarors Group)

    I hope this help u
