Installation SQL Server Domain Service accounts In the domain create the following accounts to be used for the service accounts.     

CORP\svcSQL03_sqlagent, account is going to be used to run the SQL Agent service when required. CORP\svcSQL03_sqlas, account is going to be used to run the SQL Analysis service when required. CORP\svcSQL03_sqldbe, account is going to be used to run the SQL Database Engine service when required. CORP\svcSQL03_sqlis, account is going to be used to run the SQL Integration service when required. CORP\svcSQL03_sqlrs, account is going to be used to run the SQL Reporting service when required.

I made a choice to always install all SQL Services during an installation and disable those who are not needed for the requested operation of the SQL Server. This is why I create all service accounts that are required in the way I install SQL Servers. Do you have better ideas please let me know.

Domain Security Accounts & Groups In the domain create the following accounts & groups to be used for the security settings during installation.   



CORP\SQL03AnalysisAdministrators, Domain local security group used to add to the Analysis Services administrator security during account provisioning. CORP\SQL03ServerAdministrators, Domain local security group used to add to the SQL Server administrator security during account provisioning. CORP\SQL03Admin, Domain user account to be added to the above member list of the created security groups, account is used as primary SQL Server and Analysis Services Administrator account. CORP\SQL03RepExec, account is used for as the Reporting Service Execution Account.

This is all my own base settings; you can use it or leave it and add your own security guidelines. When you have better ideas I like to hear about them.
