  • Here you need to specify a domain account to use, if this is sandbox installation then a local account is fine. E.G. for the Account name: Domainusername

  • Select your Authentication method, if you want to use Mixed Mode then to provide a password for the SA account (from experience if this server is hosted on the internet, rather create another account and set a strong password as SA accounts on the Internet are vulnerable)
  • Add in your account or the account that will administrator SQL (as created in Step 1 when the AD accounts and groups were setup)
