Re: Network Service Account

Sorry to *** in here, but I assume this means that one should not run the
SQL Server process (et al) as Network Service, but rather as a Domain User
with limited priveleges.

Does this have any bearing on the wisdom of what is best for a ASP.Net
application accessing the database? ie, on Server 2003, an ASP.Net
application would run under the identity of Network Service by default.
Whats better, to keep the default or run the application as a limited access
Domain User?

Thanks,

joe

I've seen it done in another doc before - don't remember
which one. I think more of what they are getting at is that
you do follow using user or domain accounts as the
recommended accounts. If not using local user or domain
accounts and you are using system accounts, Network Service
would be preferred, don't use Local System.
