I remember there was a tech-net or WindowsITpro article about how to harden windows 2003 service accounts a couple of years ago.
For backup software purposes (such as BackupExec / AppAsure / Etc.. , please don't bash these) I have to create a domain admin account (usually called something such as "backup") and have the services run from that account.
In this article I remember you can create the domain admin user "Backup" however have it not able to login interactively.
Do any of you remember such an article or have the knowledge on how to do it?
