   Well, we've finally set up a new server and installed 2008 on it (Denali?   
   What's that?). Anyway, I hit my first hurdle: Integration Services would not   
   start - "failed to respond in a timely fashion".   
   I checked the Log On tab on the Services Property dialog and noted that it   
   was set to log on with an account called "NETWORK SERVICE", with obscured   
   passwords, of course. I clicked the "Local System Account" radio button and   
   tried again. This time the service started with no problem. But now I'm   
   wondering if that's a good setting. I checked our current SQL 2005 servers   
   and they are set to run under the local system account as well, but that   
   means nothing - they were installed before my time. I realize that SQL   
   Server itself should be using a domain account - does this advice apply to   
   integration services too? If not, what is the recommendation?
