Service Account Groups in SQL Server 2012 I was tracking down some permissions issues on SSRS 2012 and I started looking for the local groups that I am used to seeing for SQL Server.  I noticed something I had not seen before, the groups have changed in 2012.  



I have checked on some of my other 2012 instances and am seeing similar.  Is everyone seeing this?  

I have checked BOL but am a finding it a little unclear.  I found this information from Bob Beauchemin.  It looks like he is seeing the same thing I did.  

My question is, does everyone else running 2012 see the same thing?
Jon,
From what I've seen, the local Windows groups are going away in favor of using the NT SERVICE SIDs on W2K8R2 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx#Serv_SID
