Hi everyone!

In order to totally limit access to the SQL Server to my login, I'm dropping all other logins except sa. However, I tried to apply a Drop Login against the NT Authority\System login and it was not accepted.

Can anybody tell me what the NT Authority\System is used for? Could a hacker or someone without SQL Server Authentication use this login to access the SQL Server?

Thanks!

It's windows internal system account, no one can logon with that account.
