Hi

SQL Server 2005 BOL:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx

About 25 % down the page "Microsoft recommends that you not use the Network Service account for the SQL Server or the SQL Server Agent services. Local User or Domain User accounts are more appropriate for these SQL Server services."

Domain account with the minimum permissions is more appropriate.


But just remember to add the permissions necessary to enable instant file initiazation and lock pages in memory, or SQL Server will be unable to utilize these performance-related OS features.
