Hi folks,

In all the Microsoft documentation that I can find, specifications indicate that if I want to perform a SQL Server Express installation using the system account on a French system, I must use the term "AUTORITE NT\SYSTEM" to set the service accounts. This works fine on a French XP but fails on a French W7 (and possibly also on Vista and W2K8). I did however manage to successfully install on a Dell French W7 using "AUTORITE NT\Système".

Can anyone confirm that the Microsoft documentation is incorrect or if the terminology to be used depends on the system integrator (in this case Dell)? If so, which systems are affected?

Alternately, if anyone here has an inside connection with the MS folks to whom I could refer this to, I'd appreciate getting a reference.

Thanks!
