SRM service account

Hi,

Is it possible to run the SRM service with domain user rather than LocalSystem? I've not found any reference that clearly states if this is supported / will work.

Thanks.

I have use domain accounts for the SRM service...

If I remember rightly I've had to grant them right to logon as a service once the srm service has been registered with the system...

Although, that might have more to do me with naughtily setting up Windows Authentication to SQL even when its remote - which is not supported...

Thanks, Mike.

1. Do you know if running SRM service with domain account is officially supported?

2. If SRM is running with the domain user, will scripts that SRM runs as a part of Recovery Plan be executed with its credentials or still with LocalSystem?
