SQL Server 2008 security changes

A few things to remember when creating a new SQL Server 2008 installation.

 -Unless requested the BUILTIN\Administrator logon account – which allowed OS level Local administrators to have sysadmin fixed server role  by default  - is not added by default to SQL Server 2008 installations

 -Surface Area Configuration has been replaced by Policy-based Management and some changes in the SQL Server Configuration tool

 - Kerberos – which only included TCP\IP  , now includes named pipes & shared memory.
