Steve:

I am using a domain account. I would expect the local system account to work
during an unattended reboot, however I would prefer to use a use an account
with specific domain permisions to run SQL.

The next time I get an opportunity, I am going to reboot the server to make
sure it still starts after a manual reboot with no difficulty.
