| I have read that when installing SQL Server 2008 R2 that you should specify separate accounts for the SQL Server Services for security reasons.ie. SQL ServerAgentDatabase EngineAnalysis ServicesReporting ServicesIntegration Services 10.0Full-text Filter Daemon LauncherBrowser.However, our Windows Admistrator feels that having separate accounts would be excessive and potentialy cause admistrative problems as well as causing access problems when cross-server application batch work was performed.What are the pros and cons of using multiple accounts or a single account for the SQL Server Services.Thanks,Stuart. |

| Both are correct.Different accounts gives you more control over security but you can spend a lot of time dealing with it - usually more than you can afford, especially when things go wrong.Just discussing issues can take up a lot of time if there are many accounts to remember.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
