The UseSystemAccount property should generally be FALSE—use a user account instead.
The Local System account has advantages:
No password is needed, so there's no password maintenance required as passwords expire or are changed.
The account has access to all files on the system.
However, it also has many disadvantages:
Because the account is all-powerful, allowing it to be used is a security risk.
The account only has access to local resources. Under the Local System account, applications will not have access to network resources.
There is no user profile for the account. This causes problems with many applications.
