installation creates a default instance. If an instance of SQLServer is already
installed, select Named Instance and assign a name.
Server
Configuration
Browse the accounts for all SQL services and enter the NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account.
It is possible to use a domain account for SQL Server services. A domain
account might be required for split installations, because the SQL Server
Agent might need access to the Collector for some activities. If you use a
domain account, you should use a local administrator on the SQL Server
machine to access DBServices. Otherwise, you must grant manual
permissions.
Database Engine
Configuration
Select Windows authentication and click Add Current User to add the
account to the SQL Server administrators.
