Guidelines for Using the Logon Information Dialog
! Make sure you customize the text on the Logon Information dialog to communicate
the logon information’s purpose to the end user.
! If the end user chooses to create a new user, the end user must have user creation
privileges on the server or domain.
! If the end user creates a user with this dialog, then cancels the installation, the
created user still exists and is not deleted.
! During installation, the end user cannot progress through the installation until a valid
NT account is entered on this dialog. There is no mechanism for the end user to skip
this part of the installation.
! Do not use this dialog to capture logon information to be used in a SQL Server
connection string on the SQL Server Scripts page; Microsoft’s SQL Server logon
mechanism prevents this from working.
