Creation of Service User Accounts Priority 1
Create the following user accounts (final names will be assigned by the Solution Architect):
  • Service Cluster Account - Under which the cluster service will start on all nodes.
  • Service Account for SQL Server - Under which the SQL instance will run. Be careful: you will have one per instance, thus you can end up will multiple accounts for one cluster.
  • Service Account for SQL Server Agent - Under which the SQL Agent will run. Again the same remark as above: you will have one per instance.
Beside this, you'll create 3 groups for 3 purposes:
  • SQL Server (Fill in the SQL Server account)
  • SQL Agent (Fill in the SQL Server Agent account)
  • Full-Text Searcher (Fill in the SQL Server account)
