  I had heard there was Technet arcticle with instructions for changing SS2005 Services login from Local Services to plain-vanilla ActiveDirectory domain account. Does anyone know the steps?

  Is there an article, or can someone outline the steps to execute to handle this?

  I think the suggested method is:

  Log on to the server

  Configuration Tools

  Go to SQL Configuration Manager

  Go to SQL 2005 Service

  Choose the Service -> Properties and change the account

  Then you will need to find downtime to restart the services for the new account to take effect.

  thanks.

  So there are no additional tasks (permissions, object-related) from Win Server, or MSSQL side around the change, after Config Manager edit and save?
