How to install SQL Server 2008 R2 with a domain account?

Question

Hello Community

    SQL Server 2008 R2 allows installing when using the Admin account on
a Windows Server 2008 R2 member server administration account but the question is
can you install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2  after the member
server has joined the domain with a domain user account?

    Thank you

Hello,

You can use the local Administrator account still and you can use a domain account also, but remember to assign a strong password to those account since it is required by SQL Server setup.  

Hope this helps.
