Microsoft Windows documentation for more information.

■Check your Windows security settings to make sure they work properly with the

and you would like to use a default SQL Express database, verify that an

unencrypted and uncompressed drive is available for SQL Express installation.

About the Backup Exec services account

configured for the Backup Exec system services. You can create this account during the

Backup Exec installation, or you can use an existing user account. To create a service

account for Backup Exec during installation, enter the name and password of an

Administrator account for the Backup Exec services to use.

If this computer is in a domain, enter a Domain Administrators account, or an

equivalent account that is part of the Domain Admins group. In the Domain list, select

or enter the Domain name.

If this computer is in a workgroup, enter an Administrators account, or an equivalent

account that is part of the Administrators group on the computer. In the Domain list,

select or enter the computer name.

The account that you designate for Backup Exec services, whether it is a new account or

an existing user account, is assigned the following rights:

■Authenticate as any user and gain access to resources under any user identity.

■Log on as a service.

■Administrative rights (provides complete and unrestricted rights to the computer).

Due to security implementations in Microsoft Small Business Server, the service
