How to best run Local Services in NPM

timmybeamon

What is the best practice for running services on an NPM deployment?

I'm talking about the services like SolarWinds Alerting Engine, SolarWinds Information Service, etc.

We've been running all services as "Local System" account. I wonder if it may be a better practice to use a service account of some type.

And if we do use a service account, would it be best to use a local user or a Active Directory domain user?

Thanks in advance!
