Hi,

We have an automated process which imports a file from a
remote server. Unfortunately this requires the
MSSQLServer service to be running under a domain account
in order to be able to access the remote server. I have
been unable to get SQL Server to start with anything other
than Domain Admin rights.

Do you know what rights are required for the MSSQLServer
service to run?

Thanks,

Phil.
