FineBuild can configure a number of standard Windows accounts should be added to SQL Server.

Details of the accounts that are added is given below:

Account Description
Account that is running the SQL FineBuild install process

Security Compliance

Standard Accounts configuration helps to focus SQL DB Engine administration rights on to the DBA Team. If you setup Security Compliance then Standard Accounts configuration will always be implemented.

FineBuild Configure Standard Accounts

The Standard Accounts configuration relates to Process Id 5CA and is controlled by the parameters below:

SQL Version Parameter FULL Build WORKSTATION Build CLIENT Build
SQL2019 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2017 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2016 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2014 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2012 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2008R2 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2008 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A
SQL2005 /SetupStdAccounts: Yes Yes N/A

In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameter /ConfigStdAccounts: can also be used.

FineBuild also uses the following parameters to help Configure Standard Accounts:

Parameter Default Value Description
/GroupDBA: GBGGDBAS01 DBA Team Sysadmin group
/GroupDBANonSA: GBGGDBAN01 DBA Team Non-Sysadmin group
/SQLSvcAccount: none SQL Server Service account
/AgtSvcAccount: none SQL Agent Service account

FineBuild will automatically add these accounts to SQL Server.
