Hi,
I try to install SQL server 2008 Express with Advanced Services. When it comes to the server configuration step, instead of getting NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE in account name column, i have NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService. This is read only value, I can not change this value here. Why do I not see NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE? is this happened because of sql server 2005 express already installed before? So, how can I change to "NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE"? Do I need to set it in regedit or are there any other ways to do it? thanks

Yes I am.
I just want to ensure I configure it right so that later I don't get to any problem. I installed and it seems to me it works fine. If anything goes wrong than I just configure again using the SQL Server configure manager. So far so good. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
