After reading “Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions”
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx#Top
I still have a big question:
Among these options: MSA (Managed service account), Virtual Account or domain account
What type of services accounts to use when installing SQL Server 2012 for this scenario:
SQL Server 2012 services in two servers. (Note: Not clustered)
Server1: MSSQL and SSRS. This server also connects to other sql servers via “Linked Server”
Server2: MSAS and SSIS.
Servers are within a firewall, not exposed to the outside.
Servers are in AD
SSIS packages will run in Server2 and drop, create and populate tables in Server1 databases
We tend to use domain accounts, but the security note: “Always run SQL Services by using the lowest possible user rights”, make me question myself…
Should I have all services using domain accounts for this scenario?
Do I need domain accounts for every service or should I have some virtual or MSA accounts instead?
Sorry, I need some guidance on the best way to set this up
