Installing sql server 2005... I don't understand on the "Service Account Page" how to setup a "domain user account".   What goes in the the fields for username, password and Domain?   What is a Domain?  Is it the server name.  Yes, I'm not a DBA I'm a programmer setting this up on my laptop. :-)

SQL Server 2005 Standard newbie question.... domain user accounts (what are they)
