That's not a SCCM best practice, it's a SQL best practice. It's for security. Personally I never do it.

Hi all, Had a client ask a question I couldn't think of an answer to. I've heard that the best practice is to setup your SQL servers for SCCM with a domain account, particularly the logon service. Well, why is this a best practice? Whats good about it? I've not been able to find a consistent answer to this question, so maybe its a good one.
