I use Local System Account. all my client servers do not access Internet and
are all locked down with access controls.
I have never, in all my time of using NBU wanted to change this method of
services running under an alternative account.
My opinion only :-)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Client Installation Questions
Hi everyone, we have NBU 5.1 MP4 on a windows platform. I have a couple
questions for you...
We script out the installation of NetBackup to not require any user
interaction. We currently have installation documentation that states that
we should run the NetBackup service under administrative credentials,
therefore requiring us to use a specific domain account. We are wondering
what the best practice is here? Seeing as the default installation setting
sets up the service to run as "Local System." We would like to simply use
the "Local System" account. If however, it is best practice to specify an
administrative account, can we include that information in our MSI
installation script? I do not see where to do so. We do not have an advanced
packaging environment to create custom MST's, knowing that we could probably
use such a method to install the client service using whatever account we
wish. We also know we can go behind our installation with a VBS to change
service login information. However, this does not provide that specific
account "Log on as service" rights in the Local Security policy. We do not
currently control this setting using a GPO.
One more question: In our installation script, we are using the
%computername% variable to specify the computer's name in the client
software. This however, provides the NetBIOS name. Is there a way, or
variable, to automatically provide the machine's Fully Qualified Domain
Name?
