principle of least privileges, where SQL Server services are granted the minimum permissions they

Select any of the following services to customize its settings.
Select this service

To configure authentication settings for

SQL Server

The SQL Server Database Engine

SQL Server Agent

The service that executes jobs, monitors, SQL Server, and allows automation of
administrative tasks.

Analysis Services

Analysis Services

Reporting Services

Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database
connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server
database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server
database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service.

SQL Server Browser

SQL Server Browser is the name resolution service that provides SQL Server connection
information to client computers. This service is shared across multiple SQL Server and
Integration Services instances.

Installation Guide
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Service Accounts
Use the built-in System account
You can assign Local System, Network Service, or Local Service to the logon for the configurable SQL
Server services.
The Local System option specifies a local system account that does not require a password to connect
to SQL Server on the same computer. However, the local system account may restrict the SQL Server
installation from interacting with other servers, depending on the privileges granted to the account.
The Network Service account is a special, built-in account that is similar to an authenticated user
account. The Network Service account has the same level of access to resources and objects as
members of the Users group. Services that run as the Network Service account access network
resources using the credentials of the computer account.
Important:
We recommend that you do not use the Network Service account for the SQL Server or the SQL Server Agent
services. Local User or Domain User accounts are more appropriate for these SQL Server services.

The Local Service account is a special, built-in account that is similar to an authenticated user account.
The Local Service account has the same level of access to resources and objects as members of the
Users group. This limited access helps safeguard your system if individual services or processes are
compromised. Services that run as the Local Service account access network resources as a null
session with no credentials.

Installation Guide
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Service Accounts
Use a domain user account
Specifies a domain user account that uses Windows Authentication to set up and connect to
SQL Server. Microsoft recommends using a domain user account with minimal rights for the
SQL Server service, as the SQL Server service does not require administrator account
privileges.
The SQL Server Agent account must have administrator privileges if you create CmdExec and
ActiveScript jobs that belong to someone other than a SQL Server administrator, or if you use
the AutoRestart feature. If the above features are requirements in your environment, consider
using separate service accounts for the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services.

Installation Guide
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Service Accounts

For best practice, it is recommended to

choose Use the Built-in System
Account and Local Service
Also check the SQL Server and SQL
Browser services to be started at the
end of setup

Click on Next button to continue the

setup

Installation Guide
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
In the next step, Authentication Mode dialogue box would appear
If you choose Windows Authentication Mode, SQL Server Authentication would be
only dependent on your Windows Authentication, which means if anyone can login to
your window account, He/She can use your SQL Server

Thus, it is recommended to choose

the Mixed Mode, which would also
include the SQL Servers own
authentication mode
The default application administrator
for SQL Server is sa, and when you
choose the Mixed Mode you are
required to give a new password
for the default administrator account.

click on Next button to continue
