Hi

What are the advantages/disadvantages to use ‘built-in system account’ vs ‘domain user account’ to run SQL server and other sql services? Any articles on this subject?

Thank you

AK

Don't know any articles. But we had a high level DBA consultant come in a while back that was simply confused why we were using the non-domain method. He found it difficult to easily setup certain internal functionality to use SQL Server. Things like syncing/mirroring databases without jumping through hoops. He ended up happy working through the challenge.

User authentication is another area that the domain method would help.
