Hi,

while going through the service I noticed that the MSSQLServerADHelper Service is set to run manually.

I wanted to know what this service does and should it set it to run automatically?

Thanks.


Thanks & Regards.

This service will be used and changed to run Automatically if you add SQL Server to the Active Directory. It's used to interact with AD.

Apparently :

quote:

MSSQLServerADHelper is a service installed by the SQL Server Setup program that handles the Active Directory objects for all instances of the SQL Server relational database engine and all Analysis Manager applications that are running on the computer. There is only one MSSQLServerADHelper service on a computer for all of the instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2000


As to whether it shold be automatic - I guess that depend on whether you have AD ...
