I was recently poking around our SQL Server (2014), and noticed the SQL Service account uses the LOCAL SYSTEM account. Are there any issues with using this account - Pros/Cons? Should we be using another account? Users do often execute OPENROWSET and XP_CMDSHELL commands. Not sure if that if lower-permissioned accounts work with advanced functions. Thanks! enter image description here
