Insert your Microsoft SQL Server DVD, and start the setup program.

On the Server Configuration page, specify a domain account name with administrative privileges on the database server. Then, set the Startup Type to Automatic and continue.
A domain user account offers more flexibility. This type of account is typically
used because many server-to-server activities can be performed only with a domain
user account, including remote procedure calls and backing up network drives.

Click Next.
-
On the Server Configuration tab of the Database Engine Configuration page, select Windows authentication mode.
The Windows authentication method uses Windows user names and passwords to access
the database. Users must be added to the Windows domain and to the database user access
control (SQL Server Security lognis for example). This is the recommended method.
