    this priviledge is not required for Windows-based auth. to work. In
    fact, you may have pretty secure SQL Server without this priviledge
    (running under regular user account) and configured for Windows-based
    auth. only. However it's required if you want to use certain features
    like allowing regular users access to xp_cmdshell or defining operating
    system jobs in SQL Server Agent.
