Assign proper rights Priority 2
For good purpose must we grant the necessary rights towards these accounts. The required list of rights are as follow on local policy:
    • SQL Server
  • Logon as Service
  • Act as part of the operating system (no longer required for SQL 2005 / Windows Server 2003)
  • Log on as a batch job
  • Replace a process-level token
  • Bypass traverse checking
  • Adjust memory quotas for a process
  • SQL Agent
  • Act as part of the operating system
  • Bypass traverse checking
  • Debug programs
  • Lock pages in memory
  • Log on as a batch job
  • Replace a process level token
When installing the software, it will be done by the setup program. But when hardening the system. You need to do these steps.
