    It's describing creating a domain user account for the sql server to use as its service account. ( same as a domain account you'd use yourself but for sql server ) ( SQL ) Servers normally run as domain users . there are advantages to be had. You would create a user in the AD and then use that user when installing sql server , possibly with a more complex password than "sql" < grin >
