Hello everyone

I would like to address the SQL community with the following question:

We use Group Managed Service Accounts for all SQL services on our new SQL server.

I have now been told by a software supplier that Microsoft recommends either leaving the predefined SQL service accounts for the services or using a service account (AD user) with user name and password and not Group Managed Service Accounts.

Is this correct? Should I not use Group Managed Service Accounts for the SQL services? What is official best practice from Microsoft?

My thought for using Group Managed Service Accounts is from a security perspective.

Thanks for your support

Greetings

Oliver
