According to this article(
http://www.windowsecurity.com/articl...l?printversion
) it doesn't take much to set up SQL service to run as a local user and not
LOCALSYSTEM... but I have tried that and I fail. The Sql service will not
start up, it hangs. Is there a guide out there for this?

Thanks
Chris
