seems like a good idea and kb below has some detail on how to grant
permissions in SQL Server by using Domain\Computername$

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832769

Saves manaully creating service account and having a password that should be
reset periodically therefore less of a security risk.

Is this good practice / any probs experienced with this ?

cheers,
Andy.
