I received the error message:
18456)

when trying to Set Configuration Database Server, while installing sharepoint.

I researched the error and found it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;889646. I made sure
that all my SQL Server accounts had these SQL Server Roles: 'database
creator' and 'security administrator'

QUESTION
========
Which account is it trying to use? Is it the 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK
SERVICE'? I could not find an 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Do I need to
add one?

A successful (single machine) EPM install's 'SQL Server Enterprise Manager'
shows a 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' and 'NT Authority' account. What
needs to be done to add these accounts?
