We currently have a virtual instance of Windows Server 2008 running internally that we're going to snapshot and convert to an Amazon Machine Image for EC2. It's running under Local System, and appears to be using my admin login credentials. We won't have a domain controller once hosted with EC2, so I'm trying to make sure all of the appropriate IIS and SQL services are running independent of any domain logins.

Wait a tick - Local System is different from your admin credentials. What account, and for what service, are you asking about? Application Pool, Windows Service, or what? – TristanK Apr 27 '11 at 22:40
W3SVC is for World Wide Web Publishing Service. It is running in Services as Local System, but when I'm viewing the server manager, and I see IIS, it shows my login username beside it. That is what made me think it is running under those credentials. – Brian Reindel Apr 28 '11 at 13:34
Right - W3SVC is meant to run as local system (in a SvcHost process that also hosts WAS). Can you post a screenshot of where you're seeing this? – TristanK Apr 29 '11 at 0:11
