I have installed SQL 2008 R2 64 bit on a new Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server without any problems. I installed the software using my domain account and sql was runninhg fine. Now I need to put this server into production. When I remove my account from the local administrators group, sql doesn't run right. No one can access any databases. The SQL services are set to run using the local system acccount. What am I doing wrong?

Verify Built-In Administrator is enable in SQL Server and change the Service account as

CONTROL PANEL - > ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL -> SERVICES - >SQL Server
CONTROL PANEL - > ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL -> SERVICES - >SQL Server Agent Job

Double click on it and then Click on Log On tab and then click on Local Account, note it you should have administrative rights to do this ,All service related to SQL Server must be on Local Administrator

You are using domain network so this is not a best practice to use local account for domain services if you have domain then use domain account, create a new seperate domain account for INSTANCE and Agent Job then put these services on this newly added domain account
