Hello,

We are mirroring a SQL Server 2008 Entreprise database over to another
SQLServer on another server. We had issues setting this up due to the
credentials the SQLServer service runs under (LocalSystem) seems it didn't
have permissions to write over to the target server. To solve this we had to
start the service under a domain userid that had access to both primary and
target server. Is there a way to mirror a database from one server to
another without using a domain user id.

Thank you.
