We just start testing SQL Server 2008.

During installation, we would like to ask a number of questions:
1) Which account should be used ? Network Service or System.
2) When we choose "Mixed Authentication", it seems that we are not able to
set up password for SA.  Does SA not longer exist in SQL Server 2008 ?
Since we are not using Active Directory as NOS, we have to use "Mixed
Authentication".

Thanking you in anticipation.

1) Which account should be used ? Network Service or System.

In perfect world, you should have a domain account that sql server runs
under, ah I see you do not use AD, use System Admin

2) When we choose "Mixed Authentication", it seems that we are not able to
set up password for SA.  Does SA not longer exist in SQL Server 2008 ?

It does, I cannot remember just for installation, but you are able to
change/create a new one
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD ='blblblblblblblblbl'

Dear Uri,

What is the difference between Network Service and System account ?

Dear Uri,

Thank you for your advice.  I would like to know why you choose "System"
instead of "Network Services" ?

Thanks
Patrick

For us Network... is more limited (has no access) to some shared folders
(for backups as example)
