Hi all

does anyone know if CF 8 can run with a domain account?  If so what services should be started with this domain account?

TIA

Aida

It can run with any account that has the required privileges.

That's entirely up to you. Why specifically do you want to use a
domain account? If you're just trying to reduce privileges, you could
run all the services with this account. If, on the other hand, you
want the services to access domain resources, just use the account
with the services that need to access said resources.
