It is recommended to install all K2 components using the K2 Service Account. Log on to the server as the K2 Service Account before installing. |

It is strongly recommended that the Installation Account be in the same domain as the service accounts, and if possible, your user accounts. This will configure this domain as the default K2 User Manager label. To add additional domains, please see the Adding Multiple Active Directory Domains topic. |

While infrastructure changes are required by K2, each environment is different and has its peculiarities which must be taken into account. Modifying the infrastructure could have unforeseen results if the changes are not appropriately understood or managed.
